My Sister Smiles

My sister smiles
through a broken heart
through cataclysmic misfortune
through daily trials

She smiles because she is up again
after being knocked down,
being left for dead.

They say that through trials comes strength, they say;
my sister is strong, my sister is strong…

Yet so fragile…

and that is why my sister will ever remain
a mystery to man,
that is all I understand.

So forgive me, sister,
for my blindness; it’s roots
stem from nothing less than intelligent design.

    My stepdaughter/neice is so lucky to have a brother who cares for her as you do my dear child. She not only has inner strength beyond measure, she also has the strength infused by the many of us who love her well. You have honored well hun.

    I know you touched my baby's heart with these words dear son. This is sadly enchanting. Bel is a wonder and I know you know she knows. Wonderful! Well she's no mystery to me. She is the epitome of lovingkindess. May God always show her favorite. You are such a sweetheart.


    Always ♥
