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
