Sisters Raised Right
Father was once a Preacher
Mother had taught home school
Living in blessed sunlight
Knowing of Christ’s Golden Rule.
Both girls had grown up, married.
One with two kids to nurture
Husband a Prince of a guy.
Other had dumped her parents.
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Free will can oft’
Be a stinker.
Under the Sky. (Ecclesiastes).
