Not Blood...

It couldn’t be

Stronger than blood, than family

Yet ties grow stronger still

Who, you?

You who I’ve missed

Not a glance since

Not seeing, not hearing

I never realized

You who I’ve missed

Not blood, who is stronger

Not water, who is life

It couldn’t be

Faith, which is everything

You who I’ve missed

Now seeing, now hearing

My arms around your neck

Stronger than blood

More vital than water

Who, you?

It couldn’t be

Still, you

I’ve missed you

It’s good to see you.
