the child of the promise

the younger brother
not the first-born
marked with a purpose
driven, focused
not a perfect person
opportunistic, cheating
manipulating his brother
to gain the inheritance
too easily given
his birthright forsaken
the young brother
the child of the promise
the purpose of God.
