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?"

@Dallask7 This is so sad, but true. I could relate to this since I used to live with my mother's family. Then I moved in with my dad's house which was really hard for since I didn't get to know them much. Awesome job and God bless you for your gift! :)
