Background
My stories have been most about sisters, but brothers suffered also.
Each has stories and pain, my brothers were not so open to the girls, but none of our family of fifteen children had life easy.

First brother of mine
with him I spent time
leaving he found relief
first wife he did loose
tiny baby to raise
wife two praise
more children
they raised
second brother of mine
a leader a teacher
children many
all angry
all he has done
mother cancer
she scum bed
daughters sons
agreeing not one
Older sorry
living alone
Third brother of mine
gentle and learned
teacher he was
for religion
jail he was sent
children many
left to defend
his belief at the end
lost home family friend
found family again
forth big and tall
business his call
wife by his side
children they had
found belief bad
five brother of mine
a wife he did find
children belief combined
wife new life to find
alone left behind
sticking to belief
he gets no relief
where ever he is
thinking brings grief
Author Notes
In this religion my family has been scattered, most of us hung on way to long.
Children suffer with torn feelings. My brothers were violent to their children, as their father was to them.
