Foster Care Poems

When they failed black kids without homes

Her hair stood out
Reaching for the skies
Wishing on every star at night
Someone would hear her cries
Her need to have a life she doesn't just have to survive 

The chaos of hair confused
Unsure how to keep it or what to do
She is the only one in the room
That had hair that flew 
Just a child without

had it's dark side as well.

Paul Butler is doing life
for robbery

He was black and seemed

28 Days and Counting

For this short time,
We had found our lives,
Because the council had tried to compromise.

The payed for our B ‘n’ B,
In the centre of Bournemouth,

The days began to deteriorate,
Just like my moms weight.
As did her money, her energy and her hope,

Foster Care

Foster children move from place to place,
with memories that walk the night alone.
Nor is the love their's that they must embrace,
Yet most survive with a paculiar grace.

To furnish as they would a mobile home.
