What is a clan if not alike in name?
When identity doth uncover more.
Who is a child’s father if not the same?
For time estranged hath changed this family’s lore.
Odd, yet startling, forbearer’s word arrived,
Saying that another’s blood ‘twas mine own,
And in such a moment it felt contrived,
Still I was made anew in blood and bone.
For love of family doth the spirit plea,
That father’s smile and a mother’s laughter,
Join thine lineage in love eternally,
In life and in death forever after.
And when souls transform in heaven above,
I’ll be with mine adored, embraced by love.
