Delayed Contact – A Perplexing Prospect

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Delayed Contact.” How would you get along with your sibling you’ve known for a long time — if you only met them for the first time today?

if I met my sister for the first time today

with whom I share the same DNA

              I’d feel our connection

from another direction

when we’d both laugh

at what the other

might say 

~

she’ll be someone I would choose for a friend

our differences we’ll gladly transcend

out of respect for the other    

and to honor our mother

nonstop humor will

help us mend
