Little Girls and Boys

I remember this day, it was party time.
It was our birthday , yours and mine.
Mom said, hold hands, "Yuck", I said she's a girl;
Little did I know they would make my world.

We got our first tricycle with three wheels.
No falling off that was a thrill.
We were close as cousins supposed to be.
Didn’t know any better we were just past three.

You were so prissy and I still think you are.
Your were the brains for both of us by far.
I depended on common sense and you on the books.
You thought you were pretty but I thought I had the looks.

Together we both made it through school.
Me hanging on and you following the rules.
You stayed on top of things always doing it right.
I played around and stayed up all night.

You were tough and hit on me but Mom said, don’t hit a girl.
But I knew when she turned her back, I’d give you a whirl.
We both went to church but the horses I did ride.
But we both had the Lord on our side. 

It’s been many a year but all in all I must say.
The Lord has blessed us and he would have it no other way.
We are in the Lords will and where we're supposed to be.
That cute little girl and handsome boy "ME".
