Sheryl and Julie

Sheryl was as strong as a rose 
Her beauty matched the finest petal
But it was the thorns which were like a tornado,
Taking its toll on all but a few left astray 

Julie acted like a queen
Her smarts were outnumbered
But it was the power which held her down,
The wrath of it all was too strong


Sheryl and Julie would search till the end of time
To find what they needed
Their patience and understanding matched the clock,
But the tick of each second drove them insane
