When My Time Here On Earth Is Done
When my time here on earth is done

It has been very difficult
Living my whole life
without my natural parents
And for the longest time
I never knew there names
But I did find out that
they gave me a name
And then I found out
that I had lived with them
For eight months
But then for some reason
that I cannot explain
The state had intervened
And they took myself
and my two brothers
and my sister away
So that we could all
be put up for adoption
and live in a stable home
And then two years ago
I was reconnected with two
of my other sisters
that I had never known
And they were the only
ones who were raised
by my birth parents
And they are both younger then I am
And when I finally met them they
told me that my
natural parents had already passed on
And I think that is the main reason
that I have hardly ever been able to
trust anyone or to get to close to them
Because I was always afraid
that I would get hurt all over again
But I will admit in
the past two years
I have started healing
And I know that it will take me
a long time to be whole again
But it is just a crying shame
that I never had a chance to meet
my other sister who is still around
and my two brothers that passed on
Just like my Dad and my Mom
Because I would have
enjoyed
having the opportunity
to get to know all of them
So that they could all see
that I am a beautiful
loving and caring human being
That would have loved
them all until the very end
Because I learned to forgive them
But as the old saying goes
Some times things happen for a reason
That we cannot explain
And only God will be
the one
to explain everything
When my time here on earth is done
