Life of A Sister

She was born the second child to her mother
Her sister was two years older than she was
They were innocent and happy helping their mother
Approximately five years later their mother had a third daughter
But Alas! Sadly the third daughter did not make it...

It wasn't long after another daughter was born to this family
Tears and grief turned to laughter
Their mother was happy but still felt an emptiness
In all her years of child bearing, she doesn't have a son
She prayed, and prayed like Hannah did centuries earlier
For God to give her a son

Well it wasn't long after that prayer
That God answered this mother
A year after her prayer, she gave birth to a son
She gave him a name from the Bible
And an alias just for herself of affection

Later someone entered her life from a failing marriage
He seemed like the right fit for a protector and provider
Or so it would seem for every man who joins himself to a single parent family
By now the two oldest sisters were teenagers
And they had no idea the turn their lives were about to take

First the oldest fell victim, then the younger
The oldest daughter was strong and fought for as long as she could
The younger sister just gave in every time she was confronted
Mother was informed but could do nothing
She was afraid of losing the contribution to her family which was quite helpful

The younger sister finally gave up
It was either suicide or run away
She chose the latter
And later came back with a man in her life and conception
She sought out a solution and found the best one for her situation
