Aunt & Uncle Poems

Poems for Aunts and Uncles

Every member of the family has a unique role to play in the family unit. In every family these roles are different. A role that an aunt or uncle may play is that of helping parents getting along with their children. Much like grandparents, an aunt or uncle is not subjectively involved in what happens in the family. They are often able to see things in a more objective way. Aunts and uncles also may be able to build relationships with their nieces and nephews and give them a place to get away from the family for a while. An uncle or aunt that are committed to their nieces and nephews can play an invaluable part in their lives.

1. Baby Girl

I wrote this poem for my niece who is like a daughter to me. It talks about the girl growing up and going her own way in life. But no matter how old she may be or what she may do in life she will always be my world and baby girl.

Poem From Uncle To Niece

You're growing up so fast
how I want our special moments to last
though I want you to stay
I know one day you'll spread your wings and fly away

You're growing up so fast
how I want our special moments to last
though I want you to stay
I know one day you'll spread your wings and fly away
But no matter where you are in the world
you're still my baby girl

My baby girl you'll always be
even though you're far from me
I'll think of you day and night
I may wipe a tear from my eye
but know you're my world
and my baby girl

So I'll cherish every moment we share
here there and everywhere
no matter where we go
I want you to know
to me those special times mean the world
because you're my baby girl

My baby girl you'll always be
though one day you'll be far from me
I'll think of you day and night
I may wipe a tear from my eye
but know you're my world
and my baby girl

The day will come when I'm gone away
and in this world you have to stay
to run the race of life
to be a loving mother and wife
Even though I've left this world
you can still look up and say I'm his baby girl

My baby girl you'll always be
though you're far from me
I'll think of you day and night
I'll come down and wipe a tear from your eye
but know you're my world
and my baby girl

Uncle And Friend

To me you're more than an Uncle,
you're truly a great friend.
Someone I could pour my thoughts out to
knowing you'll cherish them to the end.

To me you're more than an Uncle,
you're truly a great friend.
Someone I could pour my thoughts out to
knowing you'll cherish them to the end.

You've made me laugh,
when I wanted to cry.
You've made me stronger,
when I felt so weak I could die.

Whenever I'm upset I know you're
there with a shoulder to cry on.
Whenever I face a problem and need some help
I know you are one I can rely on.

You've always made me happy,
I hope you can truly see.
You're more than just an Uncle,
you're also a great friend to me.

3. For My Aunt

I dedicate this to a very special aunt of mine.
- By Angie M Flores

My aunt is to me the greatest person in this world,
one of a kind and one in a million.

She has the biggest heart with the most caring touch,

My aunt is to me the greatest person in this world,
one of a kind and one in a million.

She has the biggest heart with the most caring touch,
which she shares with so many of us.

Her soul is made of pure love,
yet she's worth way more than gold.

In my eyes, she will always be
the most beautiful person to walk the earth.

To me she's the smartest woman I know,
and it truly does show.

There is no one that compares to her,
no one that even comes close.

I appreciate all the advice she has given me.
I take it in with immense gratitude.

The memories I will forever cherish,
for they are priceless.

For all she has done, I will forever be thankful,
and my love for her only grows more with each day that passes.

On a high pedestal is where I hold her,
for I admire her so much more than she knows.

Having her a part of my life is the greatest gift of all,
being in her presence is God's blessing to me.

Looking deep inside of her,
I see that strong, wise woman I hope to become.

Giving, helpful, loving, caring, and kind,
is what defines her.

She is not only my favorite aunt, but she is my role model,
and to be like her would be my only wish.

Thank You Poem To Aunt

When I was hopeless, you were there.
You picked me up; you showed me care.
Without the love you had for me
God only knows where I would be.

When I was hopeless, you were there.
You picked me up; you showed me care.
Without the love you had for me
God only knows where I would be.

To me, you were a second mom,
a person I drew wisdom from.
In my corner every fight,
you always cared that things were right.

I won't forget the things you've done.
I felt like your adopted son.
Ready now and feeling new,
I couldn't leave not thanking you.

Poem From Uncle

My nephew is my heart.
He opens doors to rooms
I never knew were there,
Breaks through walls

My nephew is my heart.
He opens doors to rooms
I never knew were there,
Breaks through walls
I don't recall building.
He lights my darkest corners
With the sparkle in his eyes.
My nephew is my soul.
He inspires my wearied spirit
To fly on wings of angels
But while I hold his hand
My feet never leave the ground.
He stills my deepest fears.
My nephew is my past.
He writes my history.
In his eyes I recognize myself,
Memories only we can share.
He is my best friend,
He gives me hope,
He lights up my life.
My nephew

From a tiny bundle till today
I see you grow each day...
From endless cries to endless laughs
I see you glow each day...
From the innocent questions to the incredible mischievous
I see you learn each day...
From the little walks we have to the small talks we do...
From the kisses you plant to the crushing hugs you give...
I save the memories each day...
For one day I will have to be happy with only those memories near me
And you away from me...
For life will sure play the same game as it does every other day....
But remember my dear, I will be there ever and forever for you as like today...

Nephew Poem

Whenever I see your sweetest smile,
My pain and sorrow are gone for a while.

Whenever I get mad because you're so unruly,

Whenever I see your sweetest smile,
My pain and sorrow are gone for a while.

Whenever I get mad because you're so unruly,
You'll just hug me and say, "I'm sorry!"

You've got a lot of questions.
You have some wonderful visions!

My little nephew, let your imagination soar;
Let your spirit travel afar...

Spread your wings of generosity;
Open your heart to the wretched and needy!

And you'll discover the rainbow
Of hope that's within you...

8. Thanks To My Uncle

A girl says thank you to her uncle for raising her with unconditional love.
- By Crystal S. Johnson

Mother's brother
Took me in as his daughter
Wiped the tears from my face
Father took off, so he filled his place

Mother's brother
Took me in as his daughter
Wiped the tears from my face
Father took off, so he filled his place
No questions about his loyalty
The love he shows already answered them for me
Day and night I bow and pray
Giving God praise for letting him stay in my life another day
My protector when life gets rough
No one can break our bond, because it's strong and tough
In his eyes he reveals a secret
Something that is so beautiful, but only we share it
His love is pure, like no other
Thank you grandma for having my mother's brother.

9. A Poem For Auntie

A poem about a beloved aunt who's always there for her niece. Sometimes it is easier to say thank you on paper than in person.
- By Brittany L. Briscoe

Niece's Tribute For An Always-There Auntie

Sometimes I know the words to say
Give thanks for all you've done
But then they fly up and away
As quickly as they come

Sometimes I know the words to say
Give thanks for all you've done
But then they fly up and away
As quickly as they come

How could I possibly thank you enough
The one who makes me whole
The one to whom I owe my life
The forming of my soul

The one who tucked me in at night
The one who stopped my crying
The one who is an expert
At knowing when I am lying

The one who makes such sacrifices
To always put me first
Who lets me test my broken wings
No matter how much it hurts

Who bought my first phone card
Who endured my boring days
Who always said something funny
That mattered in oh-so-many ways

For accepting me as I changed
Accepting all my flaws
Not loving 'cause you had to
But loving just because

For never giving up on me
Even when your nerves had reached the end
For always being proud of me
For being my best friend

So thank you Auntie for everything

Poem For Uncle From Niece

My dear Uncle Buddy can't you see?
I'm not the little niece you remember me to be.
I am now sixteen and at the high
Soon it will be time for you to say good-bye.

My dear Uncle Buddy can't you see?
I'm not the little niece you remember me to be.
I am now sixteen and at the high
Soon it will be time for you to say good-bye.

To the little niece who isn't as young as she used to be
Remembers her childhood with the uncle that was always there.
I will always remember our fights, our feuds, even our different points of views.
There is one thing that I know will never change though.

Is the love towards my dear uncle that has come my way.
Even though that uncle is a pain in my rear
I always want him to be near.
I love you my dear Uncle Buddy.

Just remember that no matter where I am at
Your little niece will always be in your heart.
As you will be forever in her heart.

My Auntie has a special gift
She knows just what to do
To make me happy all the time
And show she loves me too

At Christmas and Thanksgiving
She's the person I look for
She stays at my house overnight
But I want her to stay for more

I can tell when she's joking
By the twinkle in her eyes
She's the best at solving problems
She is patient and she's wise

She is so creative
With her poetry and crafts
And every time I'm with her
We have a lot of laughs

I will always admire my Auntie
For my whole lifem you see
Because even though I'm still a kid
She spends so much time with me
