Suckling On Lemon Empathy Juice
When they we're sent to live with the Foster's
Realized for once in their life
Finally had someone who love them
Read them a bedtime story before bed
And bring a cup of tea and breakfast
in bed once they awoke in the morning
Give them as many kisses and hugs
as they could take
And told them they loved them every
hour of the day
" Then life as it does throws a curve ball "
Released his mother on early parole for
good behavior and sent him back to
live with her
And at that point he then regressed and
had no choice but to accept being beaten
at any hour of the day and being treated
like a slave instead
So trying telling him that life is fair when
it it gave him a glimmer of all that's good
could be had in his life what he was missing
And for not the 1st time but the
2nd time then most hurtfully stole it away
And without drawing a single breath
listen to a another say something stupid
and as trivial like that's a shame really sad
But hey
Whatever doesn't kill them will make
them stronger
Life can only get better
Or
Keep your chin up
I then find myself saying to myself
how eternally grateful and thankful
and lucky I am
