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

:) my thirteenth is coming up in July, so this poem was very inspirational to me.

i love your poem, but i am confused about the statement between learned woman, and learning woman.. or girl.. that may have been an intentional structure to the poem i dont know.. im not a girl lol (: but it may throw off men or boy (: readers... as boys we all assume there is some big girl club and all the girls tell us that there isnt... but the poem reinforces the opposite (: once again beautifully written! -s

Wow, how lovely, Jen! I remember my thirteenth birthday, though was very long ago now, but it is such a great age. Ah, those were the years :) Very sweet poetry, my friend.
