Calling Lydia

Calling Lydia

Up among the stars

My Gemini twin

Forever young

Always in my mind

Sweet sister,

Three short days

I blinked and you were gone

Calling Lydia

My absent sister

In the womb we planned

Giggled, wriggled

Playfully jostled

In mummy’s tum

We cuddled

Wait for me

While I walk this Earth

Then one day

When my life is run

Among the stars

We’ll have eternal fun.

To Lydia, half a story of love
