Foster
 family
 festivities 
 making each holiday
 special.
 
 Our gifts 
 shall vanish 
 but fostered love
 will bind us together 
 as one.

Very pretty Brenda, it is such a challenge to stay in a form and pick the right words, I learn so much reading the work here, and believe my last I have written to have been inspired from being here

Oh this is a wonderful demonstration of selfless love Brenda. Children who are fostered never forget the kindness paid to them by foster parents and they pass on that love to others. Loved this little gem! It is brilliantly written! #7

This poem, Brenda, true and so touching. Yes, I too, wish you good luck in the contest. You're a winner! I've never written a Cinqku, so I'll have to study up on this form and give it a try.
