Two Lives
Two Lives One of them a boardroom debater The other a meek listener at PTAs One accomplished with degrees The other struggling to operate the washing machine One climbing the corporate ladder The other finishing chores late at night One has her brand of power dressing The other trying to keep up with new styles One in pinstripes and starched collars The other in flowy sundresses One manages a team of a hundred The other puts two young ones to sleep One a winner, a believer, a fulfiller of dreams The other a giver, a carer, a shower of hopes One life, so many goals, so many paths to traverse But the journey is the same, Like two waves of a single heartbeat, Two lives lived by one.
