Foster Home

by symbol5405

I sit on the floor as I cry I wonder why is this happening I don't want a new "mom" or "dad" My foster parents say they love me I think I love them too How can I love these people The government took me away from my family How can I love these people I am forced to live with I love them I know why They love me back They care and want me to get home I understand now I am very loved by my parents and my foster parents
