Born in April
Born in January
Only 9 and 1/2 months separate us
One born sickly
One born strong
We never really looked alike
But people saw us as the same
One with a squeeky voice
The other with a stern voice
One loved athletics
The other loved electronics
But when one was in trouble
The other fared just the same
There was nothing that happened
That the other wasn’t aware of
They loved their hobbies
Dancing, Swimming
Running, Walking
Laughing, Crying
Writing, Dreaming
One thing was certain though
When one was ailing
The other was always well
There was nothing ever happening
That the other didn’t know
People always wondered
Who was really who
Nothing is funnier
Nothing is more serious
Than an Irish Twin
No one knows you better
No one cares like you do
No one else can pass for you
No one else can put up with you
No one else can bare with you
When you hurt, I hurt
When we’re together, we’re apart
When we’re apart, we’re together
I can’t imagine that my heart could or
Would go on beating if yours were to stop
My Irish Twin always together and never apart
