I knew she couldn't wait for me,
it's been that way since birth;
She wanted freedom from the womb,
my heart had not it's worth.

I pleaded with her, 'Wait for me,
I'll follow where you go.'
But all she did was drop my hand
and said, 'You are too slow'.

I laid there small and all alone,
I scarce could hardly breathe;
The space where we had shared a life
was empty but for me.

My breaths came short, my heart beat fast-
and still I could not stir;
I even heard a distant cry
and wondered, 'was it her?'

When my darkness filled with light
and voices I could hear,
These weren't just sounds of Angels,
but the Hand of "Master" near.

He led me through a tunneled wall,
I floated in his grasp;
My life is His, but mine also-
I'd see my Sis at last!

Life's road's been tough for her and I,
as Twins with different quests;
For when it's time to make a move,
HER way she thinks is best.

A selfishness is in her heart,
and sorrow's in her eyes;
I know she envies all I do,
and how I compromise.

But just as first I live my life,
while she keeps running faster;
I live with love deep in my heart,
Thanks to the Hand of Master.
