Chasing fireflies; A birthday wish
It’s your birthday? Forget the cake and cheers.
Let’s slice up a piece of life and dive into the tease.
No fancy decor can match the warmth we bring,
Just us, sharing secrets like agents in a fling.
In a world of chaos, everything blurs outside,
Oh, how I would rant through my rage on a long, tiring night.
Pouring out struggles, sharing troubles and delight,
You listen, filling my heart with warmth and ease, my guide.
Yet in our childhood, those sun-soaked, endless days,
We chased each other like fireflies, lost in playful ways.
I can't imagine us as adults, so far from that sense,
For the mini-version of ourselves lingers in my brain.
The special bond we share, I know, others must see.
Sisters often bicker, but we let it be.
While they fight and criticize, we just go with the flow.
Who needs a party when we can roam the aisles,
Pretending to be food critics, savoring snacks with smiles.
