I was I am


I was I am

I was Sveta long ago in a Russian orphange

I am Kylie safe and warm in America

I was left to watch the babies

I am watching now before I speak

I was sick and could not hear

I am well but wear hearing aids

I was strugging at the start of my life

I am still struggling everyday in school

I was cold and lonely

I am loved

I was is now over

I am the new strong me  

I was I am
