Close as two sisters can be Sister Sue and Mary Lou you’ll see They grew together then went their way Bound by emotion. A hug is all they say. Sister, Sue, and Mary Lou Twins, lives in twined they grew They held each other, love and Tears Streamed through their eyes mixed fears Every day they spoke on the telephone Keeping in touch, never felt alone They mostly got along hardly fought To find husbands is what they thought Sister, Sue, and Mary Lou Were each other’s glue Boyfriends came and went Their emotions slowly spent Even though they lived apart Relationships shaped The same heart Couplings unsustainable they’ll broke Praying perfect companion heaven spoke A tragic way for sister Sue, and Mary Lou Destined to be just them too The closest Bond of love, they knew They wanted more then sad depressed blue Time marched by sister, Sue, and Mary Lou Realized love was not meant to be If one in love, not the other, Three off-kilter Through rose colored glasses Jaded filter It was to be for all to see An emptiness Brewing in them a deep sadness This insuperable story of twins, Who achieved A great deal, Because they never gave up They never gave in, they Believed An epic poem Inspired songs 1) The wind beneath my wings By Bette Midler 2) One is the loneliest number By Three Dog Night This poem was intended for the webster’s word of the day Challenge in July.
