a sibling




 If I had a sibling
If I had a sibling
the one with who I’ll be
I will tell them stories
explain to them, what is that they see
I’ll tell them “I’m your elder
you can always count on me”
I will let them wrap
their little fingers around mine
And step by step, they will
walk by my side
Thrilled will I be, when they speak out
names of papa, mama and mine
My toys will be theirs
and I’ll take them out to play
Together we’ll see the sun shine
and dance in the rain
I will be the one with whom they can
share their pleasure and pain
To my friends, about my siblings
i will talk most of the time
But oh, I do not have any
I’m the only child
My parents dote me
although I’m pampered and wild
I have all their love and care
I have all the books and toys
And I have no one else to share it with
Or fight for it and make noise
At moments, when I’m lonely
I wish to hear a voice
that of a sibling, who would ask
“Shall we go out and play
I want to hear your stories
And talk to you all day”
If you wish you were the only one
Then those who are will say
“How I wish I had a sibling
To keep loneliness at bay
For when you tell me about yours
i would wish for one again.
