Thanksgiving we tell everyone
Thank you for all you have done
Or be grateful for the wealth
We have in our life and health
So I'm thanking all my friends
Who've been there time and again
Without any hesitation
Or having any blood relation
But your still my family
In my heart I'll always carry
My wealth doesn't come from dough
But I'm richer than you'll ever know
With the generosity
All my friends have given me
Keeping me healthy from the care
That they always want to share
I hope these words show how much
My life is better with the touch
Of love I found in true friendship
Which is the most thankful gift

Many times on my couch I lie
In a vacant mind or pensive drift
Wondering and pondering
Why the thought of my mom
Doesn’t go off my busy mind;
Ever after she is no more
Is it ‘cause of being a chip off the block,
Physical bond, blood relation,
Evolution - in womb,
Umbilical connect, love,
Care and grooming.
In many instances stepmother
Or a sibling, or a dad or others
Have filled the void caused by
dead mothers or adoption per se
Is is because of gratitude or
selfishness or emotion or admiration
Is it food, clothing, shelter, love
Security, protection and support
Nothing withstanding.
Very surprising that this love for mom
exists till the *** end of one’s own life.
Why and how?
For sure I don’t have an answer.
Mothers may know it best!

There I was born 65v years ago
no knowledge of my mum and dad
I was taken into a children's home
that's where I was many thought sad
But my hope was about to come good
a fine couple came to collect me
six long weeks I was in that home
till my register was legal to agree
So no blood relation do I have
cut off from family or any tie
no connection in tree and branch
cut down at root just left to die
Thankfully that fine couple adopted me
they gave me a cord to live life for free
so thankful when others have nothing
I am one, lived happily with no family tree!
(Having been adopted at 6 weeks, there's no blood connection for a family tree. Just some thoughts on what that feels.)

If I were a mountain lion
I would've been wary and wise
back turned safely to the wall
watching with careful eyes
I would've been cautious, cagey
and on the lookout for lies
but instead I trusted blindly
and fell for your disguise
You were my blood relation
a tie that was said to bind
but when I hit my lowest low
you were the most unkind
You used me when convenient
drained resources, energy
exploited my better nature
and got the best of me
When others acted cruelly
telling lies and tearing me down
instead of you defending me
you disowned me all over town
You were the most insidious
sneaky, snarky snipe
proving true the back-stabbing
best-friend stereotype
But, at last I found you out
your cover fully blown
I watched you fall in your own trap
and left you there alone

As I look in the distance I see the new grave.
It's a realization
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave
Of how much companionship and love you gave
With out any hesitation.
As I look in the distance I see the new grave.
I am trying to be brave
To cope with this sudden separation
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave.
I really don't know how to behave.
I have never lost any one who meant so much
Yet wasn't a blood relation.
As I look in the distance I see the new grave.
I can only say don't cave.
Last year was our greatest vacation
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave.
Oh! Dave.
How will I make it through this new transition
With out your cooperation?
As I look in the distance I see the new grave
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave.

We do chatting
understanding! Inspiring! & Supportive! he is
I ask him questions- many
related to the book we both study
he answers me - very patiently
i share with him, almost my all problems
He listens carefully
and suggests me
all possible solutions - cleverly
I tease him for his pictures,
Fav things & celebrity
then his reactions- haha! That's so funny
But we have a "**** society"
who thinks wrong & dirty
as "there must be something between them"
Huh! Huh! Huh!
I don't wanna give any explainations
that "Naah! Naah! Naah!
There's nothing such between us"
I call him "My Best Bhai"
He calls me "My Sweet Sis"
Yes! Yeah! Yup!
We are in relationship
The Best one, in the whole world
We are Brother-Sister
No blood relation, Miles of separation
Different choices, Similar Heart
Which would never ever Break-up

#LOVE IS...
not always blood relation, nor is it familiarity within a nation; but when it's spoken and *FELT* in Universal elation...this speaks volumes to those vibrations; we all know those whom we've known for years but that doesn't mean LOVE endears...relatives, friends, distance occurs... on estranged levels; that's NOT Love Preferred*
Do you know what to me is beautiful to receive...when you meet a few rare gems and you know without a shadow of a doubt what their character is all about...Depth, Respect, and Genuine Caring; if this is missing* this results in a dissing and no matter the status, this won't make for good Pairing...
I, myself have met strangers...where soon enough I didn't sense a danger and discernment was certainly exercised; we often forget...in the beginning that's how we ALL met and here is something that I've certainly come to realize*
When your HEART* and BRAIN* Feels Grand and your SPIRIT Understands; when it Doesn't have to EVER be Questioned...that's when you Know* that LOVE HAS NO EXPIRATION!
This Is MY Reiteration, an Important* Exclamation and One That I Stand By, Indeed...
LOVE IS...*LOVE*

Spiritual life in the passenger
Knowledge in the edge of the wave,
Far beyond the way I am itinerant
Hope warn in life.
I proceed to see Everest's peak
Strong heart with courage,
Destiny Knot to be extended to fight
The Black cloud to the heart.
I'll take a new curtain
A little steam, to control
Night night don't like to be, as always
Hot and cold in the fall of the world.
I will sing a song
The anger in my own feet, to keep
Pain hasn't hurt like used to be, forever
Wind and rain of sharp material in the middle of the road.
New blue bright sky
Blooming into a flower,
I'll warn the glow
Peace be the smells in the air.
Language, literature and embrace the culture
Everest's peak with flying marks
A song to sing
Its a blood relation of brothers from the voice.

bells ringing in my heart
again to wish him with
a cute smile.
mind withdrawn,
smile to a stranger
against norms that
have put on shoulder of girls
something persuaded,
no,no
he was one
who taught me
life's something
that can be painted
with hues of love and care.
who made me a bold
girl at my heart and face
touched me with care,
and said;
''all boys are not alike''
who realized me
blood relation is not
an inevitable thing
for 2 minds to get closer
who called me for
the ist time,
my imbecile sis,
that was my bro,
he was a needle,
and i'm a thread
without both,
how can we stitch
the dress of love
designed by god!

After getting a world class education
and a promise of renewed life
We supposedly enter a life of endless opporunity
A high salaried job becomes the life's expectation
add to it a beautiful wife
We spiritedly look for the endless opportunity
Birth of a new born infuses a new blood relation
another addition creates espousal strife
We crib for the endless opportunity
Diminished blacks and enhanced greys signify comprehension
a mirror's reflection cuts like a knife
We still wait for the endless opportunity
Death angel releases our trapped cognition
accepting fate with a last fife
We whisper adieu to the endless opportunity

You come to divide property after the death of my dad.
you 'd a fight with my mum your attitude was really bad.
you blamed me after he died I 'm only parent's loving boy,
you discriminated my birth never bought your choice of toy.
I donate happily if you come to share moments of my sad.
you 're my blood relation what was need to come with force?
why did you think, I don't support you that needs an endorse?
Noone can take property away you see dad why 're you so mad?
we were born together in a family and played in childhood,
you come to fight when others threatened me as Robin hood.
you listen your wife that's good, no need to insult mum,
if your son will treat you in the same way as it's in scum.
revise your mind and find something is wrong in your attitude,
we 'll die one day, come to live with honour no need to be rude.

A name carried by a blood relation
The Christ Bearer, Celtic you see.
I wasn't aware, yet an Irish devotee
No wonder I feel the green sensation.
One day I felt the need the ink
Myself with a tattoo
A shamrock perfect out of the blue
Where is my missing link?
My eyes glow green that pierce your skin
Now it all makes sense
All the mystery and suspense
In the end my gut did win.

There was a time when families had your back,
You didn’t rely on the government to take up the slack.
We even named them Big Brother but that’s not true,
They’re really not blood relation to me or you.
Slowly we are being robbed of our dignity and pride,
Just shells of our selves, hollow inside.
Blindless we march to the beat of their drum,
Taking for granted the final outcome.
Like lambs to slaughter we hop right along,
With no minds of our own as we dance to their song.
Used to families and communities worked together as a whole,
Loving and caring and respecting each others feelings was part of the goal.
But we managed to get over that hurdle and learned disrespect,
With children killing children in school what more can we expect?
When I was a boy going to school,
Respect was a given, it was part of the long lost Golden Rule.
If you wanted to pray that to was your choice,
But kids today are in limbo with no way to express their voice.
It is no more the Governments fault than it is ours,
We elect them to lead us and when they don’t, simply take away those powers.

Its different here and i am very brand new
The faces, the lights and the air is it too good to be true
Everybodies happy and excited to see me now
All the smiles and adoration I wonder if I should take a bow
I'm two and life is good
I ride a tricycle all over my neighborhood
I'm five and somethings not quite right
I think there is a terrible creature that comes into my
bedroom at night
I'm ten and I'm trapped in a body that does not match my mind
Now I know there is a monster and he wasn't too hard to find
A foe in blood relation took my threats of unveiling to heed
I was a lifeless eleven year old when he stopped the terrible deed
Such a pretty smile yet she hides fire in her eyes
If you look deeper you will see a Sad, Sad, Tale there lies

Lonely are days, Murmuring inner way
Struggling life's span,with no friends in hand
Days sometimes are hard,no pals, no fans
Alone we are today,alone will be
Even if we have many
All moments can never be sunny
Situation changes with time,
and time passes with no sign
We drag today but lonely one day
Alone we came and alone will be
No dine , No show
No fairy no glow
No hand will help , no pals will dwell
Coz when life's drama ends, the only
thing left is you are Alone
People say hi, People say bye
Time for help comes , they say Goodbye
Blood relation works , time of need they only serve
They are only we can rely or else all seems to say Die--
It's better forget it all,where life takes- move on its call
Your wisdom will only help so keep moving till you melt.
