She was her sister's keeper-- Sacrificed her all, even her lover. 'Twas a vow, she volunteered, To shield her sibling from ache; She built her life around Her little princess-- With vivid, effervescent hues, She overtook all the trundling tests. Came to that tender fork, did she-- Had to choose between sis And beloved friend. 'Twas not difficult, actually-- She merely requested a minute; Then, opted to discard her joy Of a few inebriated months, For the dearest younger sister She protected, all her life. Hefty, hurtful tears did drop; Yet, when it came to blood-- Not even the devil could stop; Because her entire existence, A stalwart, forever libation For a far nobler mold of love. Yes, she was her sister's keeper-- Gave up her all, even her lover. "Offering" Sometimes, 'tis what it takes to be a sibling. #Offering #diwa #yqbaba
