Best Friend

I remember the day you were born
like it was just last week.
You grabbed my littlest finger
with your tiny hand
and I've never felt more immediate love
in my entire life. 

You are goofy and like to pull my hair.
You call me your best friend
and sometimes share your favorite
crackers with me. 
You make me want to become
someone that you can look up to. 

You help me have fun
and forget my worries. 
You showed me that children can 
in fact
teach grown ups more than 
we can teach children.
