Bonds of blood could not hold as tight
As those in my heart, I thought they might
Fade over time if I could not see your face
But you haunt me still from a distant place
I cannot place the moment you became
Family though we may not share a name
But prayers rise up for you from my lips
My heart weeps with every tear that slips
From your eye to your cheek to your chin
And I wish I could hold you again
And whisper words of comfort and peace
But I fear I shall never release
Another confession of my love for you
But if you feel embraced in all you do
Perhaps it is my soul reaching out
To the family so few know about
