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 fetus, you started to kick and play rough!

Ten months waited, tried to get out and hurt her a lot till you're pushed out.

She suffered enough aches and pain; strains, blood loss, tears and sweats!

Mum cleaned you from head to toes, wrapped in a bundle to keep very safe.

You took a nice deep breath and wriggled in her arms like a worm to grasp,

Could not wait a few hours for her to rest and went on moving your dry lips.

Mum got ready, put her breast to feed and relaxed, you both were happy!

She watched her 'sweet heart' day and night, spent many sleepless nights,

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 times; days, weeks and months till you're grown!

You lived in her tummy as a nest, nourished on her blood, body fluids and milk,

Built the body and brain with different nutrients, peptides, minerals and water.

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 and she shared this news with all?

Blood is thicker than water; family bonds are closer than those of outsiders.

The siblings undergo same process of child birth; first water, next the baby!

Sharing mother's milk among siblings could establish uniform genetic ties.

Blood is thicker and a healthy balanced relationship can keep you all tighter?

                                         FAMILY FIRST!
