| You and I |
|
God sent you with me
To enter this world.
As I sputtered and gasped for breath I know you were marking
time behind me.
Together we had plotted our escape - from the all encompassing bubble.
Did I push and you shove?
Or did I shove and you push?
Maybe it was a greater force that propelled us head first into life.
Would we have always been close?
Would you always have watched my back?
For the stark bitter truth of reality separated us
Before life had a chance to mould the two of us.
Instead of both of us, I learned and bore the brunt of life's lessons alone.
With a permanent chill along my spine
Moving on I found warmth and love.
But still the feeling of being unprotected haunts me.
No one watches my back any more.
But life teaches us to fight and survive
All the while knowing
God in his heaven
Knows where, what and why.
Vinda lost her twin brother at aged 5 years, when he
succumbed to a childhood disease which they both
had contracted.
