When we sometimes sit and think of the generations above
We see they often interpreted differently the common link of ‘love’
Between siblings of all ages, sometimes a relation loosely tattered
Or in other homes, the strongest link, brothers and sisters mattered
I observe, I see, and I think to myself, how have I kept up with you?
Have you understand how much you mean to me, and that you are one of few?
Quarreled we have, and argued at times, but in the end it’s all resolved
For the bond we have, unique to us, will never come to dissolve.
Through our journey of life, our parents are there, but stronger than that is us
You and me, siblings for life, an inherent unbreakable trust
Little did I realise that when we all scatter from the foundation we called ‘home’
Without keeping in touch, even a text or a call, can make one feel really alone.
Despite where you go, and who you become, and how your priorities lie
You and I were the first to know each other, to laugh, to joke, to cry
And again as you progress in your life, and I progress in my ways
We subconsciously know that our relation only gets stronger with the passing of days.
But above it all, the urge to tell, and to let you know how I value this bond
To acknowledge it isn’t like tattered cloth, but firmly linked above and beyond
I’ll call you from time to time, and text and email you to let you know that I care,
And when I visit you next, or you visit me, it’ll be like we’ve always been there!
