~The Gift Finally Received~

          There were walls
        we both lived behind,
        growing up together,
           unable to find
            our way clear
        through the overgrowth
            of the pain
         in both our souls ~

      ~Still, a bond formed
       that'll never leave,
         as we've changed,
     even in what we believe~
      yet as we've entered
    & left each other's lives
       I've always wanted
        you a part of mine~
      
   ~Now we've come full circle,
        & so here we are,
        & yes, we both
     have come so very far,
     & we stand together
    at this place & time,
  unsure still, in some ways,
      what we will find,
        but no matter
       what our future
        has in store,
         I'm so glad
       we've come back
     to this opening door,
  you're still my big brother,
   & I'll always be your sis,
   & I'm glad that it's time
      to celebrate this!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this awhile after returning to my hometown, amazed at how, even after all the years apart, some things never change~
I love you, Tim!
