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

Ode to little sis I'm guessing. You sound like the proud protective sister. Nicely done!

hh pretty cool poem, I can relate to it :)

This is great for young girls. If they are younger than 13 they will dream about becoming a teen one day. If the girl is older, lets say around 17 or 19, then it will remind them of thier younger days. Perfectly relatable. :)

Growing up at thirteen ... Make-up and hair . . . (oh, I coware in fear!) But, yes, a rite of passage.

oh no, don't grow up at thirteen, we all grow up so fast in society now and we miss a piece of growing out.....
oh, i could write so much in this, I grew up at 7.
old enough to know better, but what is necessary is being old enough to learn......
