Different and the Same

DIFFERENT AND THE SAME There was a petit young twin, Who believed she could not win. People would like to compare; Most viewed her as part of a pair. She had a couple of freckles on her face; The sister had none any place. Being compared and this twin a fretter; Both were upset when she did better. Wanting to do her best, She rarely could rest. Things tended to be of equal share; If one had more, was it okay… or unfair? One afternoon they went out to shop, The sister liked a blouse with lace on top. It turned out, no two blouses matched. The twin preferred one--no lace attached. The two were quite surprised; A difference of tastes surmised. An outpour of questions from each one came; Both twins seemed to enjoy this new game. Some answers were different and some alike… Both wished for the same bike. One liked to jump rope and run; The other picked board games as fun. One liked a winter snow storm; The other loved it sunny and warm. Then, the girls quietly walked along, Humming the tune of a favorite song. A separate identity, is what this twin uniquely searched for--- As a teen, she became less interested in what her sister wore. When they were adults the two moved away; One went to Chicago-- the other flew to L.A.
