My Lucky Charm

A birthday poem that I wrote for my brother.

 

MY LUCKY CHARM

 

the 18th of March

was supposed to be my start

but as usual

I was late by arriving

on the 23rd of March instead

 

as a little girl

I wished to have

a brother or sister

to skate with all day

 

finally your planned

 arrival was to come

on my birthday March 23rd

Mom planned my eigth

birthday party in advance

on March 18th

to avoid all

chances of any conflict

 

when my birthday party arrived

Mom's chocolate and strawberry cupcakes

and my favorite raspberry punch were prepared

my grandmother picked me up early from

school to take me to Skateland where my

birthday party would be

 

after searching high and low

I asked my Grandmother where

my parents were

smiling so wide my Grandmother

said your Mother's in labor dear

she's being air-lifted to Dallas

to give birth to your

new brother or sister

 

my party was so much fun

but as I blew my candles out

I made a special wish for the

safety of your birth and that you

would be a little boy so I could

have a little boy to play with

 

how happy I was to hear that you

arrived safely onto this earth

things were touch and go for you

at first due to your premature birth

 

how excited I was when I first saw

you little brother

you looked like a little yellow

sea-monkey to me

 

how could I ever know

how close we would one day be

I prayed for you to come year after year

finally the day arrived

 when you were finally here

 

tears rolled down my

 cheeks when I first

held you in my arms

what a lucky charm you

will always be to me

my baby brother

Well now if that wasn't a strange twist of fate calling you... first sign of how close you'd be... what a sweet way to show love and respect to your bro. Hope he read this.
