Foster World

My view of this life 
is empty and alone 
no place of warmness 
no permanent home. 
New families 
always a new mom and dad 
living in fear 
thinking of what i had. 
Its all gone now 
my friends, my life 
living with this heartache 
living with this strife. 
I want to go home.

Tragic but greatly written. I brought a young man into my home so he would not have to go into the system to be tossed about. My son's best friend and now a part of our family. A true part of our family. Sadly, his parents didn't care enough to even notice he was gone for two weeks. They seemed content to know he was here... had even expected it... His mother tried to kick him out of our house so she could move in...in his place. It was very sad. But he's happy now.
