You and I

You and I
Like two parallel lines we stride
True, we can't collide
But, at least,
Can we not be side-by-side

You and I
Like two bicycle pedals we glide
True, we can't be side-by-side
But, at least,
Can we not be in same ride

You and I
Like two jockeys, horses we astride 
True, we can't be on the same ride
But, at least,
Can we not be joint-winners to be race's pride

You and I
Only if we try......

Hitendra, I just read what Linda told you below about this poem not fitting the rules of her contest. But you should enter it in some other contest when something comes up for which it applies because this is one of your best poems I have read. It is really clever and I like it a lot. LUv, Andrea Ps maybe use it for the big Soup contests sometime.
