Ages past, the words that caused the rift still, today, so far apart they drift. As time recedes, old memories fade bitterness remains their raw charade. New slights imagined, old stories told so, in icy cold, they both grow old.

If this is real, it is a sad state of affairs. If we keep bitterness in mind, life will become so miserable. Forgiveness is the only key to open hearts. In a few lines, you have powerfully enumerated life. Terry, wish you all the best!

Unfortunately it is true an almost 40 year feud between twins, very sad to see. Thank you for your kind comments Valsa

Terry, your concise, expressive poem conveys a powerful message that resonates with me. It describes my older sister and me. We were estranged for years. Finally~~thank God!~~ we came to our senses. Now we are very close. Janice
