BLOD IS THICKER THAN WATER.....

          BLOOD IS THICKER! 

 Mum gave you blood and flesh; 

   created a mole from a dot given as a gift,

Warmly kept in her womb as a foetus, 

  you started to kick and play rough!

You lived in her tummy as a nest, 

  nourished on blood, body fluids and milk,

Built  body and brain with different nutrients;

   peptides, minerals and her body fluids.

 

Ten months waited, tried to get out 

   you hurt her a lot till you're pushed out!

She suffered enough aches and pain; 

  strains, blood loss, tears and sweats!

She cleaned her baby from head to toes,

  wrapped in a bundle to keep you safe.

She watched her 'sweet heart' day and night, 

  spent many more sleepless nights!

You took a deep breath and wriggled in

  her arms like a worm to grasp her!

Could not wait a few hours for her rest, 

   And went on moving your dry lips.

Mum got ready, put her breast to feed you,

   Relaxed; you both were happy!!

Regularly keeping you clean, safe, warm 

  with her own body, eyes and hands.

 

Keeping close to her soul she made sure 

   you're fed when you cried in hunger, 

Looking after your needs all the times; 

    days, weeks and months till you're grown!

By six months you kept the head erect, 

  steady the neck and made a tiny smile!

Mum was over the moon, all her pains gone;

  she shared this good news with all?

Blood is thicker than natural water; 

   family bonds are closer than the outsiders.

Siblings undergo same process of child birth;

  tummy pain on and off, first water; next baby!!

Sharing mother's milk among the siblings 

  could establish uniform genetic ties.

Blood is thicker than water and healthy indeed, 

  balanced relationship can keep all tighter?

 

        BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER!!
