Sister

Born from different bodies
Yet from the same source
We share much more in common than we know
Let me call you sister

Our words sound so different
Yet say the same thing
And so we speak the same language
Let me call you sister

Our lives are worlds apart
Yet we both cry real tears
And laugh real laughs
Let me call you sister

We have followed different paths
Yet we will arrive
At the same destination
Let me call you sister

We ache for different reasons
Yet the aching feels the same
And we feel another's pain, as our own
Let me call you sister

If you need my hand, it is here
If you need to be heard, I hear
And all I ask in return
Is you call me sister too
