Wedding Thriller

Surprise thriller for the folks at the reception

My sister is getting married

July 24th of 2010 and I am very happy for her. These are two poems I written for her.

When We Were Kids

It seems like only yesterday we were kids
And now we are grown
You are getting married
And leaving me alone

What happened to the kids we were
Those days are gone
But I will always remember
The fun we had together

I liked living in the past
The kids that we were
And I don't want things to change

I don't like change that much
But change is good in some ways
And I am happy for you
For you are going have a new life

For you are going down a road
To the rest of your life
With the one you love
For to never look back
On what you had
Only what's to come

Learn

When we were little
We didn't always get along
But I loved you anyway
And I always will
Even though I don't say it

You became a Special Ed teacher because of me
I hope you teach your kids
The life skills they will need out of School

I know it's hard at times
But you can do it
I believe in you

I know you want what everybody else has
And I do too

But it will all come upon you
In God's time

But it will take me a long time
To get things together
And figure things out

I guess I don't know where
To go with my life right now
But you do
And I'm proud of you for it

All of us kids will find someone someday
But it will take a long time yet

I believe we have to find ourselves first
Even if it takes us a lifetime
I know it will happen

For me writing is the only way
To express myself right now
That's all I know
