Angela

For my sister Angela
Whose life was so?
Unexpected
She deserved oh so much
More
Robbed of a childhood
That neither can nor will ever
Be reclaimed
A mere child herself
Mother thrust the responsibility
Of surrogate mother upon an
Innocent girl who had not to
Do with my conception
What a hallowed mother she was
Giving more love, happiness,
And joy than I have ever
Since known
To my sister I give my
Highest praise an admiration
For she has spent an entire life
Giving an never complaining
Only loving

G. Williams
