Changing One Little Life (Xpost)

The phone call comes in, "Do you have enough room?" For one more young child.. He needs a home very soon. He comes to your door, tattered and bruised, His clothes are all dirty, he's wearing no shoes... You welcome him in with a smile on your face, He'll have to adjust at his very own pace. His life has been a hard, rocky road. Somehow you must help to lighten his load. He is going to need you to care for him now, So deep in your heart you silently vow- To make his life better than what he has now, to again make him smile, though you're wondering how. Each new day brings anger, sadness, and joy You pray that your love can heal this young boy. Sometimes in seems that you're getting nowhere, And you wonder why God said "Send this child there". After an especially trying day, when you're sure there must be an easier way Into the room, his footspeps now come, With a shy hug, he whispers, "I love you, Mom". With tears in your eyes, you know just what to say, You've waited and waited for this very day. "Remember this, honey, and no matter what, You're special. I love you. You just hold on to that."By Valerie Busic(I shortened this to fit a foster to adopt child)
