SOUL SISTERS

We were just little girls 

Who looked like button pearls

 As twins we were called by the world 

Us sisters sleep together snug, secure and curled

We fulfill each other’s need,  as we grow like strong plants from a seed…

———————————————————————————-

Everyday we would race to the park 

Coming back before dark  

To keep each other safe we are enough

Together we glide gracefully over the rough

We fulfill each other’s need,  as we grow like strong plants from a seed…

———————————————————————————-

Now over the years,

You are becoming a girl beautifully fierce

You know how to carry yourself on your own   

Marching with confidence, stepping over the stones  

We fulfill each other’s need, you have become a strong plant from a seed…

———————————————————————————-

Your confidence and persona are inspiring

You make it seem as though its not toiling or tiring

We understand each other better than no other 

You complete my sentence and know me more than my mother 

We fulfill each other’s need, you have become a strong plant from a seed…

———————————————————————————-

Even though twins we are called no more 

I am happy we both are strong, for life has a lot in store

We are our own individuals, as we inspire and motivate each other 

You know I love you more than any other 

We fulfill each other’s need, you have become a strong plant from a seed…

———————————————————————————-

Just close your eyes when you remember me 

I am the one who constantly keeps loving and remembering you, who you can’t see

It’s so funny how we are physically twins no more 

But we make up parts of each other, as we are becoming birds who soar

We fulfil each other’s need, we have become strong plants from a seed…

-Dedicated to my cousin sister in Canada for her birthday (04/01/20). Since when we were 7 we have always held a firm belief that we can ‘exchange thoughts’ as we used to call it, just before we knew technical and advanced terms like ‘twin telepathy’ even exist. Despite the 10720 kilometres distance between Canada and India, it has always felt as though she’s never been away and we’ve always been connected, and its only a centimetre of distance to reach for her, and give her the warm hug she deserves. The movie ‘Frozen’ embodies our sisterly love as we used to believe 5 years ago, and still do. There is no greater love than sisterhood, and blessed are those who receive it.
