Uncle Carlos




Uncle Carlos,

Truth be told, I'm no longer that little girl you used to know
The cutest little one in nursery
The one that always ran into your arms because you always cuddled her
What little child doesn't want to be cuddled
The one you played with without limits
The one you sat firmly on your laps while soothing yourself
The one who loved the candy you gave every now and then
The one you took to your office cos she is a special kid
The one you took off her clothes occasionally to keep track of her growth
The one you taught a game
That game you played so well but I never seemed to grasp
That game that hurt and hurt so much
That game I was not allowed to teach anyone
Our little secret game
Oh uncle Carlos, how callous!!!!!!
I remember......oh yes!!!!! I remember

To be continued.......
