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

I like the fact that the poem is contained in short lines. Somehow, I feel like this poem is slightly dark. You've done great work, once again. Keep writing!

[Alicia Schroeder]

This is a sweet tribute to an adolesant.. Nicely done :)

[CHRIS ANDES]

Well written, its interesting, and unique in ways. Nice flow, i like that last few lines, nice job

Sweet poem, but I love how it also sort of conveys the... restrictions and pressures of growing up and taking on life as a teen. Well-written!

this is a poem of good advice for your sister! She's old enough to realize what she does reflects on her family, but aside from responsibilities, there are the privileges, such as wearing make up! On the road to adulthood!

[Perfect Mistake]
