The Gift

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
