To my Brother

To My Loved Ones part 2 of 3. Written to family members shortly before moving abroad, and having to leave them behind.

Blood is thick, it binds us, and

Runs through us. when we are too weak to stand

Our blood strengthens our souls. it is the life

That fills our lungs, the light that guides our way. every strife

Had is but a flickering candle in the breeze, whereas blood is

Eternal. a man will never be alone while he remembers that his

Roots run deep; that his blood is thick.
