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! ©Ayeni Oluwatosin More of Ayeni Oluwatosin's poems on www.poetrysoup.com
