Kady and Tony

Real Poem

Kady Birdwhistle

Yes, I will always chirp at that loud bird outside the apartment window
You will always give me that lopsided grin
Complete with the brush-fire beard

Yes, I will always listen to that Delilah song by the Plain White T's
You will always go barefoot when we
Play some baseball with our AWESOME

Rawlings mitts

Yes, I will always be jealous of your ex-girlfriend because I suck
You will always think I am a nut for it
But I will be jealous because she was before me

Yes, I will always insist on using ALL laundry detergent because
Your mother uses it and she always smells good
You will think of her when I do laundry

Yes, I will always write poetry about you that is no always flattering
Even if we decide to go our own ways
No one wins, but we at least knew each other

It was worth it

I will always prance in my boyshorts giggling about the newest yoga pose
Because I know that you respect me
Despite that fact I'm not the Shakti pretzel

Yes, I will always love your nightly grunts and groans of life
Honestly, I'm not me without you
It's funny that that is the way it is

You belong to me

Yes, I will always preach to you about God because He is first
It does not mean you are second
Its only that He gave me my life again

I will always shake the snowglobe that you gave to me
The one with your picture in it
Always treasure that lopsided smiling smile

I love it

Yes, I will always love Pink Floyd's music in my eardrums
You dig them too, I know, I know
I intriduced you to The Wall

Yes, my heart will always be sad that Kurt Vonnegut passed on
We reading Slaugherhouse Five aloud
I promise not to cry again

I miss his books

Yes, I will always play Sally (my guitar) for you anytime at all
If you feel sad or depressed
She's my strength and solace

Yes, I will always love you dancing to the song Stayin' Alive
I will love the BeeGee's till I die
They rock my socks off too

You are mine

This
I say
And I
Stay
True

    Just keep on being your lovable self, sis!! It is good that God comes first, that is how it should be...! You love with everything that you have, and that is always very admirable. I am sure Tony appreciates you, sis...some folks just have a hard time showing it sometimes.
