"Yet God has made everything BEAUTIFUL for its own time. He has planted ETERNITY in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end." -Ecclesiastes 3:11

You came for me,
You came for me when I thought no one else would,
You drove 2 hours to take me away from Hell,
And now we live in peace,

My mom didn't care,
She neglected me when I needed her,
But you came,
You came for me just like you promised,

You brought me to a Loving Home,
and built my confidence up,
You Loved me like my mom should have,
and you have never neglected me,

Finally, you showed me what a Home should be like,
You showed me how to laugh,
You showed me how to smile,
and you showed me what a Home should me.

This poem is about my dad and my stepmom who took me in when I needed them the most. I will forever owe them for that.
