LITTLE SISTER BY CALLISTA JOSEPH

Little Sister

My little sister 

Was yet to grow 

To blossom as a flower sown 

Then she saw her flow 

But my father

Would not let her grow 

He married her away and said 

"With a husband you should learn to grow."

Barely a year

After she was thrown 

Away to "learn to grow" 

Word came that she died

While birthing a son.

My little sister was yet to grow

Father married her away to grow 

Now I guess I'll never know, 

What she would have been 

If given a chance to grow.
