credit to jeffrey hubbard and his amazing poetry skills.

My life for fourteen years had been

a happy time for me

A ceaseless circle, never broken

of my happy family

A family that served The Lord

A family that gave

That preached the pen, and not the sword

and synchronized our ways

But then you came, this little girl

with nothing to call your own

This ne’er-do-well, outcast of the world

And put yourself in my home

At first my anger blinded me

so much to the point of shame

You have taken my family

Must you also take my name?

I saw nothing but you tangled hair

The dirty clothes you wore

The disheveled girl who didn’t care

But who had never been cared for

But slowly as I learned your case

The grief that you had known

When I looked deeply into your eyes

To the pain that was clearly shown

My anger turned to pity

My pity turned to love

Your eyes they look so empty

What are they thinking of?

I hear of all things you do

And the pain stirs up in me

Why have you no attitude

Of joy or praise or glee?

Why must you attack

Those who would do you good?

The answers lie in a tattered past

Ignored, misunderstood

But for you my sister, I can’t lose hope

Of the life that you can have

An everlasting, redeeming hope

That comes from redeeming love.

The healing that I wish for you

Earthly ways cannot attain

I hope that, with you family too

You can praise His Holy Name

My life for fourteen years had been

A void I had not seen

A broken circle I could not mend

Till you became a part of me

Finis.
