Are we a pair?
Because if we are not, why do people stare?
We came out together, that's true, that's fair
Growing side by side or upside, no air.
Identical? they would ask, ah yes its true
Don't look like it they reply, experts view.
What a topic we are when we just are
Its natural for us like the blinking of a star.
We have our own dreams and needs in this world
We're separate in thinking in a life to unfurl.
But together we face that life if needed
My brother, my soulmate my twin.
So yes we're a pair but we know when to fit
When to juggle and mix
When lifes carousel throughs pies in our face
Don't send in the clowns, send my brother in their place.
Love the "send in the clowns" reference
I've been surrounded by twins all my life. My brothers, my best friends from childhood, my sons and my best friends sons. Even down to my neighbours each side of me. All very different and not all close. My boys are 21 now and say themselves that they are close and have secret signals between them,
I like this- got me thinking about the special connection twins share.
