Duo

By Bianca Schultz

We’ve always been a duo, you and I, with our endless ties.

We’ve always known each other, seen before I opened my eyes.

We’ve always had that special bond, the one of unconditional love.

We’ve always been a team, like with that pesky summer dove.

And we’ve always loved music, that beautiful gift from above.

The music in the living room brings fun and pleasure.

The music in the yard accompanies us while you 

read a book too thick to measure.

The music in the car while we drive past colorful Christmas lights. 

The music in our hearts that 

guides us through those

Work-filled late nights.

Our cozy nights of cats 

and games

Our cozy nights of

jokes that cannot be explained.

Our cozy nights of

fantasy and lights.

Our cozy nights of 

memories that excite.

We’ve always been

a duo, you and I.

We’ve always been

a duo, sweet

brother of mine.
