my brother and I
two of a kind
on opposite spectrums
yet still have a bond
when I was younger
I often made wishes
you were normal and
not the strange one
but in passing years
I gained to accept you
just as you are –
completely special
when we enter twilight
I will hold fond memories
to keep my heart going
when you are gone
two of a kind
on opposite spectrums
yet still have a bond
when I was younger
I often made wishes
you were normal and
not the strange one
but in passing years
I gained to accept you
just as you are –
completely special
when we enter twilight
I will hold fond memories
to keep my heart going
when you are gone

Such a great tribute... we are not that close, but I think we could be if we tried.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words.
DeleteA lovely ode to a sibling bond, Maria. I think that siblings have different relationships nowadays as people live so far away from each other. It’s good to know the special bond is still there and that memories will survive.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim.
DeleteTo create space for our differences serves a higher purpose I think. Enjoyed reading this.

Very clever. I am sure it must have not been easy at times, but it is great you still have that bond... the special ones are the best ones... they aren't like everyone else. Gems.
