blood is thicker than water
filial bond is always there
brother, sister, son, daughter
a cord that'll never tear
from birth until the slaughter
of death and beyond
it's stronger than the altar
ties of marriage vows and bond
though friends will sweeten life
lighten troubles and strife
flesh 'n blood ties transcend
peripheral friendships that end
but occasionally there's a connection
of two spirits immortal
a soul that walks in same direction
as your inner will, G-d's portal
Born together with your soul
Conceived and carried in tandem,
Love divided in two the whole
Placed on Earth at random
And when, perchance, the two souls meet
On Earth-plane or psychic vibration,
they bind together as one heartbeat
in spiritual exultation
