Aunt

You who raised me up when I tore myself down 
When I was hurt you spared not a single tear

You poured them out, my love and my pride 
My beautiful aunt in those moments, I love ya

"Are you doing well, you're not hurt are you?
Goodness, you can't even sleep 
Even if you're busy you must eat well 

More than anything your health is what's important 
Aunty is happy just simply with your existence"

"Listen, I don't have any great expectations,

whatever path you walk down

As long as you're happy, aunty's happy too 

In this tough world your tiny pale hand

is an untainted pure flower,

you're my little flower blooming in my heart, 

The person whom I love the most"

Can you fly with me? Whenever you think you're alone
Please don't cry, you already make me smile 

Can you fly with me? Sing this song, my love

When I was hurt or it was tough,
When I was weary and lying down sick,

you called me every day and consoled me, saying I was the best 

Like a fool, you hid your tears again 

Now that I'm here and I look back, I regret it so much
I was so childish and immature, all the words you said 

were annoying and I took it like it was noise

I was cold to those words, I ignored each one 

"Study! No, that's too basic

Be sincere!
Even I couldn't do it myself. Love!

No that's too difficult. 

Just go live your own life"

Every time I make mistakes, big or small
But you still patch my clothes

with your punctured heart and hands
You would listen to me and say, "it's okay," 

but do you know my heart is still not at peace?

You would hug me although I'm hateable 

And I would promise to be better

I'm sorry my love, how is it in that place right now? 

I've achieved the dream I wanted
I don't even know if you can see how I currently look

I wish my heart could reach yours! 

My lover, my love, my pride, my aunty, my aunt
Now wipe those tears, smile brightly towards me

Go after you've revived your nephew and the atmosphere one more time

Can you fly with me? Whenever you think you're alone
Please don't cry, you already make me smile 

Can you fly with me? Sing this song, my love

Kids, I love you 

This aunt is a bird who will fly away soon 

You'll embrace me with your warm hands won't you? 
I want to spend a long time together with you all who I value dearly

I love you 

You who raised me up when I tore myself down 

When I was hurt you spared not a single tear

You poured them out, my love and my pride 

My beautiful aunt in those moments, I love ya

I know you love me more than anyone 
So I can confidently say that

my dream is to make you happy

The writer seems to be recalling memories of an aunt who was there when needed: always one to be relied upon. I am left wondering if Auntie is still there.

my aunt is still alive, just in a nursing home! I visit her twice a month

[kitty]

Full of love and compassion. Much respect!

I loved this poem..Because it made me remember of my aunt..I call her my angel..When I was young , whenever i used to fall ill , she used to take me to doctor..My dad never cared about me and my mom used to be busy in her work...I liked the way you wrote this..You must show this to your aunt she will be happy to see this..Today , I guess I have become too emotional to point out what you should improve in this poem because it just made me remember of my aunt..I can understand your emotions attached with it..I will say just keep on writing as writing gives one pleasure and its the best way to feel better when your mind gets filled with bad memories and yes its also the best way to express your respect and love for someone...

It must be wonderful to be your aunt and read what you think of her...

[Onlyme]

This is so beautiful expressed. As sweet a rose. Delicate, delightful and kind. I felt the emotions. Swell up inside me as I read this amazing tribute to your Aunty. She is a very lucky lady to have you in her life.

It's so wonderful tribute!
When our parents got no time or in their absence one of our close relation is found with our aunt.....taking care of us without caring of tiredness....and gifting them a reason to smile is all their want from us when we grow up.un their eye!!
Thanks for sharing your emotions with us Ji Suk☺
