Book of Love - chapter 2 - English Sonnet.

Siblings

We shared so much together in our youth

And yet our differences split us wide,

And made a gap that no pretence could hide

Where each had their own version of the truth

We disagreed and fought with claw and tooth

With bitter words and comments oh so snide

But in that conflict one thing did abide

A deep but basic universal truth.

That love and friendship can exist apart,

For you were always there within my heart,

No matter what the taunt, how sharp the dart,

Loves shield was planted long before the start.
