-a Special Kind Of 'One'- Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-A SPECIAL KIND OF 'ONE'-

If I had had a sister,
She'd have been just like you.
We'd have been inseparable.
Everyone would say 'You Two! '

We'd have climbed those trees together
and waded every creek.
We'd have climbed o're hills and hollers
and taken every trek.

And as we grew, we'd stay so close
as we started dating boys,
and every night in our shared room
We'd discuss each other's joys.

We'd talk about the fun things
and discuss our many fears.
We'd talk about our problems
and we'd share each others tears.

But wait-as I remember
Those are the things we've done
Because our sincere friendship
made us a Special Kind of 'One'.
