Siblings Day Again

It’s Siblings Day for those of us
Attached by blood to others,
Relationships important as
The ones to dads or mothers.

Our sibs may be supportive
And a key to our survival
Or possibly competitive,
The classic “sibling rival.”

We might be close while growing up
And drift as we get older
Or bond as age encroaches
And we seek a lean-on shoulder.

But whether we’re in contact
Or are lacking in affection,
Our circumstance of birth provides
A permanent connection.
