Double Trouble

 
Dedicated to the little partners-in-crime, my sister Ella and her buddy Shakira...
 
I watch those two
From time to time,
A pair of friends
Just past age nine.
 
They whisper some,
And giggle more;
I have a hunch
They're never bored.
 
Somedays make-up,
And sometimes nails,
Most days it's both,
Which rarely fails.
 
They tell tall tales,
They sing odd songs,
Dream big and bright,
Their friendship strong.
 
Where you find one,
You'll find two, sure.
Grinning young chief,
And doting Igor.

Shadows~



God puts people
In our lives
All for a purpose...

Some lift up, 
Some teach lessons,
Others hurt us.

In those times
When your heart aches
Remember to learn.

Don't let one person
Rip you down-
Yet remember the burn:

Grow stronger,
Grow wiser,
Know whom to trust.

Lean on those
Who truly love you...
Watch shadows turn to dust.
