My sister came to live with us
she brought her infant son
the beatings became unbearable
when she lost her first one
When she conceived the second time
we were all aghast
she surely wasn't thinking
that her condition would last
The time in all, they spent with us
was just over a year
there were good times and some bad
but, they didn't live in fear
My parents did something special
when he came to live with them
raised like the son they never had
so then we had(sort of) a brother
He's grown into a nice, young man
of this we can be proud
that he is very self-assured
It proves love can endure
This is dedicated to my parents.....who sacrificed
a lot to raise my nephew
