Twin Sister

Time away from others isolated and alone

Is something we cannot comprehend;

It's something we’ve never experienced or known.

Tying our shoes, riding bikes and making friends,

Lots of new starts and starting over agains.

Accomplished together first steps and first words we said;

Same as the first day of school and the very first books we read.

Best friends since we’ve been living.

Always close,
A choice wasn’t given.

Arguing - non-existent; disagreeing – rare;

Frequent instead,
Times spent together and memories we share.

Making mistakes and falling down

Part of growing up, learning to stand our ground.

Picking ourselves up was never hard to do,

We leaned on each other ‘til difficulties were through.

I appreciate time by myself and thinking things through

But it’s nice to know I always have access to her point of view.

In a group or solo – it doesn’t matter where we’ve been.

We were never alone,

That place doesn’t exist when you’re a twin.
