A Poem For Brooklyn

We might have been cursed
being ten years apart
but you will forever and always
hold a special place in my
heart
from the moment I saw you
I knew you were the one
who I wanted to laugh with
and grow with
til I could no longer see the sun

we've had our ups
and most certainly our downs
moments of yelling and fighting
but we've always stuck around

Some might say we can't be best friends
maybe it's the age difference 
but we always just laugh
and say let's do it again

For you are my best friend
through and through
No matter where life takes us
just know I'll always miss you

So let some say it's a curse 
for I strangely disagree
the best thing in life to happen
was you and me

I've loved you Brooklyn
from day one
and I can't wait to have 
some more sisterly fun
From watching you grow
from that sweet little child
to your terrible twos
here we are now
man how time flew

you're my best friend
my sister
my twirp
and most definitely  my brat
no matter what life throws at you
I will always have your back

I can't wait to see you grow
and to achieve the best
but for now stay young
and get some rest
Just know I love you
and I'll be here til
this crazy thing called life is done
