You were the sun
and the blush of your cheeks
was never so pure.
You made-
being a saint
beautiful.
The crystal in your eyes
smiled,
and you knew
before it happened.
I'll always remember
those final smiles,
the first ones,
and the frowns,
never found
in between.
Please tell me what you think

A loving, brilliant poem!
My favorite part of this poem is the smiles with no frowns in between.
That is so telling of a very special aunt. You are a fine niece to her and she is smiling down from Heaven because that bond never ends.
