Bonded we are
By ties that bend,
But cannot break.
By Blood,
Countless shared memories,
Laughter, tears and time.
A safe place
Where ourselves we can always be,
And never be denied.
Come we can,
To be comforted.
Gifts to one another we give.
Whether time spent together
Is long or short,
If we're together or apart,
Distance cannot change our hearts.
