Foster Care

When I went into foster care,

I didn't know what to do.

If you are in foster care,

then this poem is for you.

When I was with my family,

it was a lot of fun.

But when I had to leave,

a whole new like began.

Home after home.

I've been in so many.

After the fifth home,

I didn't care any.

But when I got to my eighth,

I felt like I was wanted.

And by living there,

I became loved and got adopted.

So don't you fret.

You will survive.

If you believe,

You're forever home will arrive.

<p>I wrote this in sixth grade when I was feeling a lot of sadness and loss over being in foster for so long. I had to leave my mom, my sisters, my dad died when I was four, and I felt like I wasn't wanted because I was never able to stay very long in one place to get settled very well. I hope you guys like this and feel inspired.</p>
