Hazel eyes, as bright as green grass,
As warm as chocolate, shining like the sun,
Occasionally, as stormy as the sea.
Widened with delight, two miniature moons look back at me.
Your cheeks apple blossoms in spring, bright with energy.
Just like that, I am swept away by your tide.
Uncle! You cry eagerly,
Awaiting the next adventure,
Always demonstrating love.
I am your Dragon.
You are my knight.
We walk along in the world of pretend,
Never minding how the road bends.
You remind me,
It’s okay to reach high,
To the sky,
For your dreams,
Complete with happy screams,
And zombie, popcorn, skeleton, Jelly guys.
Sometimes, we cuddle in my bed,
Resting our heads against one another.
All the clutter in my mind, swept away,
As you whisper sweetly,
Uncle, we’ve had a big busy day.
No matter where you are,
No matter how near, or how far,
I will always be your uncle,
Even when we’re not playing pretend,
I will help you reach high,
for your dreams,
Being your helpful guide.
When things are scary,
I will join you in the fight,
Whether it’s a hurt Knee or hurt feelings,
I’ll be there to help you make it right.
So, continue to confide in me,
Tell me your stories,
Your secrets,
Your riddles,
Your rhymes,
Know that I will always make time,
Although you are growing,
As tall as a tree,
You will always be special to me.
No dark magic,
No wizard’s spell,
No fortune told,
Or left to tell,
Will break our bond,
For your uncle I will always be,
You will be forever, a part of me.
Time is tricky,
It can speed up in the blink of an eye,
But never you worry as it dances by,
For as long as you will have me,
I’ll be by your side.
I’ll help you write your story, as it unfolds.
I’ll tell you all the things, I wish I had been told,
about the world,
About how to go boldly forth,
For that’s what uncles do,
For their nephews of course.
So, no matter how big you get,
Even if you were the tallest of all the Giants,
I would still love you,
We would still play,
Making the most out of every day.
Remember I’m your uncle,
That will never go away.
So, for now
I say, I love you.
With infinity room in my heart,
for kisses too,
When you get bigger,
Our bond will grow stronger,
For of you,
I grow,
Fonder and fonder
I know, you will grow,
In your own special way,
I will be there for you,
For love is a light that never goes out,
Love is what families,
And you and I are all about.
So never you mind.
Sweetheart of mine,
As the hands of time’s clock tick,
For I will be with you, through thin, and thick.
For that, is your magical uncle’s finest trick.
To be with you,
No matter what the world may bring.
So, if you are ever to mad to laugh,
Or too sad to sing,
Remember these words,
That will always ring true, Uncle loves you!
