In the wake of her dead brother, <br />born to replace a son, <br />“a damned second daughter! ” <br />Born on a spring day <br />The day an uncle passes away <br /> <br />She’s welcomed with tears <br />instead of cheers… <br />Her mother receives commiseration <br />instead of congratulations... <br /> <br />That was her memorable birthday <br />A black day … <br />A ‘crazy’ day in spring <br />when all climates <br />show off their sting <br />Sorrow etches <br />her life’s dawn <br /> <br />Confusion hoops her first chapter <br />Envy spots her youth -stage <br />Violence adorns her turbulent wifely phase <br />Now her denouement looms <br />on the horizon... <br /> <br />Her dusk draws near <br />after stumbled years <br />hidden in tolerance, <br />kindness and mysterious <br />silence… <br /> <br /> <br /> December 19,2009<br /><br />Beauty Philosophy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/predestined-to-be-sad/
