Kinship

I am Kinship

I need not be at the mercy of

What flows in the human veins

I can be found and forged regardless

All I need is a spark of recognition

Common grounds abound if sought

And a kinship can be formed therewith

A jest of fate can lend a helping hand

A missed opportunity can be a blessing

I am not a slave to age, race or creed

Nor lands, mountains, falls and rivers

I can happen in a split second and the ties

Can last and survive the march of time

I am more precious than a diamond and

Can be both a rarity or a common sight!
I am Kinship that needs no blood relations

I can be forged n happen in the blink of an eye!

Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars. Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold, And the great price we paid for it full worth: We have it only when we are half earth. Little avails that coinage to the old!
Meredith, George
