Life Is a Journey Not a Destination

life is a journey they say, 
but not a destination 
still, I come to find a family is my only fascination 
a mother that wants me 
one who I can call my own. 
a dad who's their though thick and thin 
to see how strong I've grown 

I have traveled as if to say 
my whole life  you see 
but I feel lost , with no home stuck on this endless journey 
cant be close cause soon ill leave 
yes still I where my heart on my sleeve
no matter how many times I dream things 
that never come true 
ill still have faith that someday ill be happy to

I wonder what its like to wake up Christmas morning
with warmth, and light ,and love
but wondering wont get me far or at least that's what I'm told
from foster home to foster home on an endless path 
I write my life that soon ill have
 now i cry and prey "at last"
