Dear nephew, uncle says Hi
From a glimpse of memory close by
With a smile so great and wide
And a heart so tender and loving
I knew your name then
So well I can remember Ben
Especially from those trips in the big old van
Where were shared more ice cream than words
You ate a lot O' nephew
Just like your uncle at the bureau
You were a piece of work my boy
Yet great and very well taught
It's been a while if not forever
And reminiscences of our time grow fewer
I miss you nephew
But much more than these words so few
I lost touch with your folks
So dysfunctional and out of hope
I hope they managed to sharpen their hooks
To catch that big old love of theirs
Dear nephew, uncle says Hi
Yet with more words than I write
So I make a promise in words I can write
To see you in summer with my wife
