Two Sons

A mother had two sons
Their names could have been Cain and Abel
Cain did not kill Abel 
But Cain did destroys the hopes and dreams of her other children

A mother had two sons
Their names could have been Esau and Jacob
Esau did not assume any interests or responsibilities for his younger brothers and sisters 
But instead Esau abandoned his family like his father before him
And sailed around the world in abandonment 

A mother had two sons
Their names could have been Joseph and his older brother
Once a wise woman said to their mother that one day the younger son will 
grow tall and solid like an Oak tree and he provide a home for you and the 
other children
