Siblings.
Gene-close by blood code
sibling attraction gells
thicker when thoughtfully coping
with natural difference
both in years and in gender.
Concord stays bettered
when respect keeps
tempers from fraying as kith
plays in banter with each
active member of contending kin.
Made enriched indeed
are parents whose offspring
reflect care's abundance
in childhood scuffles that resist
doing harm one to another.

Good write Fay.

Glad you saw thru' the somewhat verbose phrasing that family closeness is more than vital to growing youth.............. bless ya and thank yous millions Nev..................x
This speaks eloquently to a member of a rather large brood of eight, it was the worst of times and the best of times as well. Happy to walk on a sentimental journey of a brick road that at one time was kinda yellow. Thanks Fay!
