Closer Than a Blood
CLOSER THAN A BLOOD...
I have learnt something of late...
When troubles of life weighs heavily on you Families are the last to give you succour.
They sometimes compound to your troubles...
And even glory in your misery!
I have learnt something of late...
Whoever stand with you,
In the time of trouble
Whoever hold your hands
In the days of adversary...
Such is a brother, not necessary by blood
Such is a sister not necessary by womb.
Be good to people, show kindness to all,
Because I have learnt of late...
There is someone out there,
Who stick closer than a blood!
