Dear Child
May 12, 2017
Dear Child
Child with no safe home
Going from family to family
As the weeks go on
Dear Child
Child who is scared of tomorrow
Counting down the days and hours
restarting when you get to a new place
Dear Child
Child who only talks to their case worker more than thier foster family
No foster family has ever heard you speak
So they assume you are mute
Dear child
Child who cries when they get to a new home
Not knowing what will happen
The unknown scares you
Dear child
Child with abandonment issues
Who thinks awful thoughts
thoughts like "who could ever love a orphan kid?"
