(for someone very important to me)

Whimsical genius
Could you be more enchanting?

You get into our heads
And dance your way to our hearts
While the Monster within brings us to happy tears

You strive for beauty that you already possess
And coax a smile in the strangest of ways

Inhibitions are stripped and thrown out the window
All because it tickles your fancy

To be happy no matter what is your creed,
An enviable goal which you seem to easily reach
In turn, I hate seeing a frown on your face; it never fits

No matter the insults you throw at yourself, we see you clearly
All who know you as we do are blessed,
Those who donÂ’t will never understand such entertaining beauty
(can I be your F.I.L.F.?)

-Love you my Kenzie

To my baby brother who's all growed up now :(

You come to me in need
Desperate for comfort
I would stop the world for you,
Listen as long as you need

But when you dump me,
Just leave me behind
All for a new comfort
I feel left out and unwanted - thrown away
But I guess turnabout is fair play

I regret the past,
For overlooking you
Finally realizing how important you are to me
Too little, too late is my fear

You grew up while I was too busy
I cling to every moment you need me,
To every moment you want to spend with me

Why I ever pushed you away can only be explained as 'what kids do'
You are a rock to me, without you knowing it;
A hero

Baby brother, you've come a long way
You're setting your own course
Full of strength and knowledge; I'm so proud

Together we weathered storms

Our bond is forever, no matter how far apart
It's one of strength, love, and friendship

You're in my heart forever, I love you
