Family Features

By Liana Mahoney

I've got Grandma Gertie's smile, And Uncle Joey's toes. I've got Cousin Robert's hair, And Mother's perky nose. There's a dimple in my cheek ? I think it's Auntie Sue's ? And blinking in the mirror Are Daddy's baby blues. But no matter how I try, I simply cannot see ? If all those parts belong to them, Then what belongs to me?
