The wonderful thing about them
Is what they mean to us over time,
Not quite as strict as the daughter
Can often be partners too in crime,
Nieces carry old wisdom of the ages
Have knack of handling things right,
Learning ‘ropes’ from those around
Never giving up without a good fight,
Redefine ‘NIECE’ with no ‘N’ & ‘E’s
They’re warm as fire & cool as ‘ICE’
Steady & resolute in their promises,
Leave out an ‘E’, they’re just ‘NICE’,
We’re fortunate to have great Nieces
Our Nephews no less commendable,
Yet in pampering us Uncles & Aunts
Dear Nieces have been so admirable !
Blessings & Many Happy Returns
Shreya Baksi Sen, Niece No 1 !
