Worth

Worth Not kept at his birth He lives in state care Feels he is not loved Keeps quiet as he grows School can see his pain New plan for him More help at school Read books at night See a new world Top in class New friends love Finds his voice At last Feels his Worth

Warren, you have described many little ones I know who wish they lived in state care, because they have survived without the basics - food, water, love, or hope. I am so glad that DH has "made it in this diminished hexaverse. I want all of them to "make it". It reads like a Horatio Alger story which always has a delightful ending.
