did you ever realise
that it very tough to be
a mother
when
you love both your children dearly
but
love one
a little bit more
did you ever realise
that it very tough to be
a mother
when
you love both your children dearly
but
love one
a little bit more
you two are the only ones
I have
a memory of my parents
the same blood
the same childhood
the same soul
yes… we are sisters
and I love you
as I loved my parents
on my birthday
I look at you both with affection
my sisters
a reminiscent
of my parent’s existence
a constant reminder
that we were born
of the same love
between two people
who no longer stay
in the mortal world
growing up
they
never leave our side
and
we have no time
for ourselves
until
one day
they go away
to make their own lives
and we
have all the unwanted time
in the world
