Our Blood
March 3, 2013
I've dreamt of an older brother
To watch over me
To guide me through my troubles
Seeing what I can't see
For fifteen years I've been
One of only two
Now half of me connects
To a brother I never knew
Now that this comes to light
I wonder about him
I think of the ones he loves
And how I'm not part of them
We are separated
By ten whole years of life
He doesn't know my troubles
And I don't know his strife
Can one ever help to bridge
This never ending flood
Of a family torn apart
to be connected by their blood
