today’s her twenty fifth
birthday and it’s incredible
the patterns of families
where we are
where we are going
all the crossroads
we have come a distance
all of us and she
she will continue long after the music to my song fades
which is how it should be
her brother compliments her and I know
I know she is loved
which is a good pattern
we have created something promising
not just the muck or sorrow
despite the setbacks and comebacks
we will march on
twenty five years since the beginning of her
so much yet to come
