Thirteen.

Today is your special day,

It’s all about you.

You’re finally a teen,

finally you’ll be seen.

You’re no longer a child,

That’s all in your past.

It’s time to grow up,

Wear your hair down,

And use make up.

Don’t let us down,

Don’t make us fools.

You’re old enough

To know better,

Old enough,

To follow the rules,

Happy Birthday

Dear Sister,

Happy Birthday

Young daughter,

You are now 13,

Welcome to teens

Aww this is cute. I remember when I turned thirteen. I was like oh now I'm a teenager finally ;) It's not as fun as I thought it would be. Haha. But you done a great job dedicating this to your sister. I bet she would love this, Jenn. :)

I like this Jenn. Being 13 is a weird time (not that I can remember it too well now). Somewhere between trying to be an adult but also still wanting to be a child. The childhood years pass so quickly, too many of us wish our teenage years away and don't really enjoy them. Thanks for this nice thought-provoking poem.
