"Candy"

Candy

My sister has always been dedicated and strong.
She has stood alone without a man to call her own.
On my sixteenth birthday she came into the world.
He blessed me with a sibling a beautiful baby girl.

I watched her grow into a lady I was a proud brother.
She was a birthday gift I'll treasure like no other.
After a failed relationship she gave birth to a boy.
Who was destined to become my pride and joy.

After he was born I loved and treated him as a son.
God blessed my sister with a child a very special one.
He became the son to me my wife could never bare.
He has grown into a respectful young man who cares.

My sister raised him as a single mother without help.
There's no wonder why I love and respect my sister.
The mother of my nephew Josh the apple of my eyes.
The son we never had but one we love is no surprise.
