Song of
a Foster Mom and now her troubles are melting away. As our time together is drawing nigh, I look into chocolate eyes and sigh. Gone is the look of hurt and sorrow, replaced now with hope for tomorrow. Her golden tail, once hung in shame is high and proud and knows no blame. Her soft pink tongue grazes my cheek. "My, Has it already been a week?!?!" She nudges my hand with her wet nose as my bittersweet love for her still grows. Sunshine came to me, quite insecure "Can I trust her?" She wasn't sure. But with love and patience and a gentle touch I have emptied her heart of oh, so much. I have emptied her heart of guilt and shame Of scorn, neglect, and too much pain. Her heart is now empty of all those things and open to all that love can bring. As I look at her, I can only pray So with tears and trembling lip, I say, "God, watch over this precious girl, and keep her safe in this ugly world." "Give her some place to call her own and a family, a yard, a promise, a home. May she never again spend a day alone, God, give her the love she's never known" Our time together is fading away. and tomorrow brings another day. Maybe tomorrow's day will be the one That says ,"Goodbye Sunshine, Go! Now run!" This angel in gold will bring so much joy to any little girl or boy. Alive and joy-filled though she be, Miss Sunshine cannot stay with me. Come quick, dreaded day, and ease my fears Dry quickly all of my worried tears. "Take my Sunshine away." I humbly pray, "into the hope of a brighter day." By- Missy Brown (note Sunshine pictured at the left...in her forever home!)
