When Water Is Thicker Than Blood
For some of us, family isn't our blood but rather those who stand by us and become our family over time. These bonds are strong and lifelong.
May each of us be blessed to have special folk who we regard as family, no matter who they are in the world. Blessings and love.
When water is thicker than blood

We are all made to believe that family is everything
And in Utopia, it probably is
But for many of us, family is a disaster
Mixed memories that confuse and hurt
Experiences that steal our happiness
Trauma leaving our souls to bleed
And when we leave to escape the drama
We burn bridges where egos lead
When water is thicker than blood
Let it flow over you and cover your soul
Don't let the blood run cold
But focus instead on the water's warmth
When water is thicker than blood
Hold on to the ebb and flow
For real feelings and relationships matter
They hold you in their tender palm
It's wonderful how much family can mean
To each and every one of us
But this is not always there when
We need them most, they lose our trust
Making friends and meeting strangers
That do and mean so much more to us
It's sad but it's reality
And our paths will lead us there
When water is thicker than blood
Let it flow over you and cover your soul
Don't let the blood run cold
But focus instead on the water's warmth
When water is thicker than blood
Hold on to the ebb and flow
For real feelings and relationships matter
They hold you in their tender palm
