Would that you’d been born my sister, <br />Then you would already be happily married, <br />Free of the holocaust <br />When your mother left to be born again; <br />And you’d already be happily married: <br />Maybe you’d be considering me, <br />But you never would; <br />And I would be sitting here all alone, <br />As if I had never known you, if you’d been my sister.<br /><br />Robert Rorabeck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-d-been-my-sister/
