Walking the path.

We share so much, you and I.

Genes, hair colour, the need to touch.

We both love to snuggle –

Sometimes alone, sometimes whomever is closest.

We share a love of the water.

Your inquisitiveness and curious mind matches mine.

We have the same skin,

Although yours is browned by the sun.

We share a desire to flap.

A need to let our bodies talk with us, sometimes for us.

We love to sing and dance –

Me in private, you not caring who sees.

We share so much.

And we walk the same path.

But your footprints are yours alone,

And mine are the only ones I can claim.
