uncle?

I don't exactly remember how we firstly met. 
You came to our home with your young energy and spirit.  
We 'had' a new family member we never knew before. 

But I still remember,
How I and little sister were happy when you were around. 
Rode the motorbike in a night breeze, 
Almost every night - to the supermarket, 
Bought us every snack we want. 
Dad and Mom said, you loved children. 

And I will always remember,
How I felt regret,
For asking you to buy for each of us a Barbie for our birthday. 
Went into the toy store,
I saw your confused face seeing the price tags,
But then you just paid them for us. 
Uncle don't have much money, my mom explained,
He just started working. 
O oo.. Sorry uncle :(

I don't remember when we stopped talking.
Must be when we were teens. 
When you smoked too much in house,
We did not like it. 
And it was getting worse when we moved to the new house,
We acted like you were not existed,
Even I often forgot to count you as a family member. 

Life must be hard for you. 
Experienced the falling down and lived alone, 
While we never really be there for you. 
Only dad did.  

Somehow I know you think that we're still kids, and you still love these kids. 
You bought us the bread we like. 
Put it silently on our dining table.
Bought us only the good fruits. 
Told us to eat all.

Feel odd to write this..
But I was awakened one night - sobbing. 
I dream n felt extremely sad for him. 

--------------------

I don't know how to 'reach' you as you stand aloof. 
What I know, your life is precious. You are precious. 
Pray that you will know God's love,
Find the true joy and happiness, 
And have a 'LIFE'...
