Sibling Ties

Sibling Ties


We started as family in Heaven
Everyone knew they belonged
A Heavenly Mother and Father
and billions of Siblings strong.

we gathered in grand council
and each agreed to life
but one of our dear siblings
had to be the sacrifice.

A conflict in the glory
a trembling of the veil
a grand battle in the family and
we cried when Lucifer fell.

Our family then, divided
some siblings forever lost
A plan of salvation created
but there would be a cost.

In turn our foreordination
Expectations and blessings high
But there was no other
‘cept Jesus, our brother
to be born, so he could die.

Our lives on earth would vary
some poor and weak and sad
but siblings ties from heaven
should make things not so bad.

each struggle’s would be different
God's love for us, so real.
Don’t for get our elder brother agreed
to level the playing field.

Our Heavenly father watches
sitting on his throne above
at this training ground called earth
wondering "where is that sibling love?"


"I sent them all down together
So they could not forget
to teach and support one another
and encourage those they've met.

They turn they backs on each other
let petty things come to be
This is not the plan, my kids
Not sibling rivalry

Remember our first battle?
1/3 of billions of host
Walked out on the rest of the family
Whose side are you on most?


In the final family reunion
Will you greet with loving eyes?
Or will shame and embarrassment fill your soul
For forgetting those sibling ties?
