When it comes to birthdays, I share mine with my twin sister.  We share a lot .

but sometimes not our view points.

TWIN SISTERS

Sharing womb -- Sharing birth,

Sharing parents and siblings.

Sharing the time of growing up

Sharing each other's laughter and pain;

But yet, when reminiscing in later years

We seem to be telling the story

From a different viewpoint.
