As we grow older, we may grow apart,
But it is only a physical distance,
Inside we are still near,
On the other side of a doorway,
Laughing, and crying,
Feeling the joys and the pains creaking down the stairs,
Even when their bodies are not even there,
From the same womb entering into the same world,
But walking a similar line,
Maybe only a little bit, kind of, sort of askew,
fathers and mothers,
brothers and sisters,
daughters and sons,
All around you,
Even when the you is askew,
Feeling it all from the pillow on the bed,
Two sepearte homes,
Two very different beds,
Different children, different wives,
But still the same smile, the same child like eyes,
Jokesters every day, when there was time to play,
Working s hard as they can,
For each and every day,
Supporting and pushing,
Football loving and then some,
Similar recliners,
In different rooms,
Yappy dog lovers,
And chicken eaters,
All you can eat buffets,
The old switcheroo,
Which man is who,
Child like wonder, in grown men's eyes,
the yin and the yang
the two for one sale,
the tim and the tom.
