My Darling Twin
My Darling Twin
In our one womb we began
And we took our first breath on this land
Me so quite and you so loud
And we made our nanna very proud
I remember her telling me quite a lot
How poppy slapped you in your cot
You cried all the time when we came home
But after that you didn’t groan or moan
Then at five we went to school
You were great and headed straight for the hall
But me I cried and run to mum
Don’t leave me here I’m to young
You so bright and me not quite
You helped me when I couldn’t get things right
You helped me when I couldn’t spell cub
From that day on you had my love
Then we married and our children we had
Me a girl and you a lad
What joy it was to be together
But a storm was brewing we had to weather
Our two children that we loved
That god gave us from above
Didn’t have long on this earthly plain
But we will see them once again
We have shared love and pain
WE have shared loss and gain
WE have shared our birthdays for 56 years
We will share them for many more white hairs
I love you my darling twin
Over the oceans I would swim
To be with you in our final days
Which isn’t until 100 scorn and 11 days?
