Life's Chain Reforging

Life's been like a chain with missing links
Peppered by tantalising chinks
As the time thief marched
What little knowledge, parched

Life was always something of a mystery
It was smashed by tragedy
Ripped apart
By one dear soul that did depart

Fragile hearts in shards
For years, separate lives beat different paths
But with persistent diligence
A sibling was found by happenstance

Now the clock's slowed it's chime
Strangers, we converge out of the mists of time
Tied by the blood coursing through our veins
It's time to mend this broken chain

I've found the missing link
At last our lives are in sync
My name's Kris; His, Kenneth Clive
I greet him with a great big smile.

Yesterday, it seemed there was only me;
Today, there's a whole new family.
I hope we can reforge these chinks
Into strong everlasting links.
