It's All Relative

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
I know we are related yet
No commonality,
Except for parents.  No regret!

You do not look the way I do
Nor do you talk like me;
A broken family tree so true!

Regardless, it would still be fine
To reacquaint our lives
With sibling ties that often bind,

And hopefully survive!
