A Sibling

The closest person to your own self,

Born the same way as yourself,

Seemingly different but similar in inexplicable ways,

Growing up the same way as you did, treading the same path,

Experiencing the same feelings, the same thoughts,

Understanding you with a mere nod, sometimes not even that,

Connected in strange ways, sometimes merely humming the same tune,

At others, sensing your heart from far far away,

A reflection you can stare at, fight with and admire,

Nothing short of a gift from God.
