I saw a stranger the other day crossed my path, walked the other way... A familiar face I've seen before I see this person everyday when I open the bathroom door. I look in the mirror and I see their smile I see their eyes and hear their laugh but only for a little while.... In my mind I know this person And my brothers have seen them before, I'm not the only one I've been told I knew this person for 24 years But that day, the first day, they brought me to tears I have a love for them as if they were family but can't be, they ain't kin to me So tomorrow I'll reach, and give them a hug Maybe to hold them I'll know they are blood To be told so long, "You have a sister" But how could that be, I've never met her A sister's like a brother You have them there to love and bother To know, but not know this person all my life And have them throwin in the mix causes some strife Emotional confusion I've never had To be so happy at the same time sad All these emotions just isn't fair To tear you apart they wouldn't dare No one knew it wasn't right I'm sure the choice was made one lonely sorrowful night I can't be mad the choice wasn't mine But if I had the option I'd travel in time I'd convince the person to make a different choice Loud and clear, in a small stern voice..... "Thats my sister, my family, my blood, Leave her here with me to love and to hold, To bother, and talk to, but mostly to hug....." By, Darrell Greenfield
