The Day of Twenty-Three

The Day of Twenty-Three

So little brother
The day is yours, I see
From you to the two
And the two to the three

Swimming and marching
The flute and the act
From day to day
You life is jam packed

With very little sleep
And not time to breathe
It’s hard to keep going
But you do, I believe

Now here we are again
For the seventeenth round
Just less than a year
And you’re college-bound

What comes after that
Only God can tell
'Cause he holds the pen
To the life you spell

Making millions of dollars
Or changing the world
You’ll impact this earth
With a twist or a twirl

But until that day
Be vibrant and free
Embracing happy happenings
On your day of twenty-three

Please tell me what you think

    That was nice, and she is very correct that this new piece is good. Is it about a little brother? Or Am I just lost? What ever inspired you you did a great job at this, keep it up. I love checking your new stuff.

    Peace

    This was pretty cute, Justin. It's nice to see a change in your poetry every now and then, 'cause let's face it - dark is nice, but hope is even better. ^ ^;

    And... uhh'... yeah. I'm not sure that you every told me you had a brother, lol. Or maybe this is for a brother here on AP, I dunno. It's still nice that you put so much thought into it, though. ♥

      Hahaha... yeah Toria, I have a blood related younger brother. His birthday was yesterday, so this was part of his birthday gift. Find some time here soon, and I'll fill you in on a lot that you didn't know before.

      Anyway, thanks for the comment love. It's always nice to see that someone enjoys what I write.
