We share one blood.

We share one mind.

We share one soul.

We share one spirit.

The backbone. The bones that keep us together and make us whole.

The brain. The brain cells that think for the rest of us.

The heart. The heart pumps the blood around our bodies and keeps us warm.

The skin. The skin that wraps us in a tight embrace.

Love.

Love keeps us strong.

Love keeps us together.

Love keeps us sane.

Integrity.

Integrity keeps us close.

Integrity keeps us accountable.

Integrity keeps us bonded.

Kindness.

Kindness keeps us smiling.

Kindness keeps us warm.

Kindness keeps us tied together.

Family.

The blood and the mind.

The soul and the spirit.

Family.

The backbone. The brain. The heart. The skin.

Family.

Love. Integrity. Kindness.

Family.

Us

You.
