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
