I am Caroline Foster.
I am fifteen-years-old.
I am shortish.
I am rather thin.
I am intelligent I guess.
I am oblivious.
I am weird.

it gets shuffled from heart to heart.
And a link in the chain of love,
goodbyes precede every new start.

Yet intolerance and half-truths,
often spawn emotional storms.

Love’s only an empty promise,
whispered by a slick...

Full of anger and resentment,
Overwhelmed with fear and confusion.
Yet you took me into your home, your lives, and your hearts.
From the very beginning you tried to make me feel welcome and wanted.
Though I fought you each...

Mommy is a neighborhood feline stray.
She has two 5 week old kittens. I feed them all everyday.
Mommy had more to her litter, but a roaming male stray
slaughtered most of them, but these two miraculously escaped.

You were told not to lie.
Told if you did,
You would die.
But don't pay attention.
They didn't know how to you in the right direction.
Always high,
Always pushing you aside.

In this place you called home.
But this man wants to take you,
To...

My view of this life 
is empty and alone 
no place of warmness 
no permanent home. 
New families 
always a new mom and dad

my friends, my life 
living with this heartache 
living...

It wasn’t that she was the only woman
in the group, that mingled precariously
beneath the bronze figure, or her classic
stance, when placing immaculately the
newsprint covered bottle to lips willingly
breached, but more her opulent style, her
contrast of attire, her hair as yet unspoilt. 
Although jewel less except...

We were childhood sweethearts  
And we were in our own little heaven
Back so many years ago
When I was six and he was seven

We had so many plans
Sworn lovers for all time
But Johnny Foster moved away
When I was seven and he...

It has been built beyond the last frontier
on salty marshland and on tidal streams
on visionary plans, on hopes and dreams
Here comes to rest the restless pioneer

The waves and wind inhabitants don’t fear
because the levee like a fortress seems
Although the water may rise to extremes
the stronghold...

All time comes to an end. 
Eternity is a matter discussed quietly among the flawed, 
in an earnest effort to find peace. 
There is none, there never was, in the dead man’s march. 
Only His grace can buy the price of even the most
… unworthy...

Longing to fit in and have a place to call their own
Often filled with so many insecurities they don't know the feeling of real stability 
They long to love and be loved but somewhere they got lost and...

Johnny Foster
Childhood sweetheart 


Johnny Foster there you are
In the very next room
We once planned I’d be your bride
And you would be my Groom

So many years ago 
Our childhood days were good
I often wondered how it would be
Or if I even should

Now Johnny Foster waits 
Just...
