Nieces Are the Children That We Borrow

August 6, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is family.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem about relationships with nieces:

Nieces are the children that we borrow,

Intending not to raise but merely love,

Ever watchful from our open window,

Caring deeply at a slight remove.

Everywhere you go, my love will follow,

Still part of you wherever you may live.
