I'm Searching for Love

Here I am standing in

a dark, cold closet.

I look high and low

and all around.

But, I know what I'm looking for

it is love.

Oh How I long

for someone to love me.

But, I do not know

what kind of love I want.

I am in

foster care.

I see lots of

couples and older parents

take interest in me.

My hopes

rise and fall

when they forget me.

I keep searching for love.

I look high and low

and all around.

I long to call

some one dad.

I long to call

some one mom.

I long to call

the people that love me family.

If I had a family

everything would be perfect!

If only!

I sob!

I long to cry and express my feelings

to some one.

If only.

I have so many feelings

that are so familiar!

I dream I am part of a family.

Oh I am so warm and happy there!

I dream I have a mom and dad

who love me.

I dream I have friends that don't betray me.

I dream I am wanted and loved so badly!

Finally I depart from my dream

I realize with dread and a broken heart

that I have no family!

I know it was just a dream.

Oh how unfair it is!

I see all the stuff I could have had!

I envy my friends.

I try to hide my tears and bad feelings.

I had given hope

for everything I wanted.

I look high and low

and all around.

I finally put

my tears and smiles deep in my heart.

I soon did not know how to

cry or smile.

I am still wondering

"Am I a bad kid? Will I ever be loved?"

I want to be loved so badly!

Will my dreams ever come true?

Will I find a family?

Will I ever be loved?

Oh please!

We need you more than ever!

Oh please help us kids!

Oh Please!

We would love to have a family!

We want to make you smile

or make you have a tinkle in your eye!

We would love you if you love us!

Oh Please!

We all want a family!

We want you!

I look high and low

and all around.

I search in the highest cloud

and the lowest leaf.

I look high and low

and all around.

Oh Please help me find it soon!

You can hear me whisper,

"Will my dreams come true?

Will I ever have a loving family?

Will someone ever love me?"

If you love me

you wouldn't care

what color I am.

If you love me

you would really care!

Hello! I'm still here.

I want to be loved!

You would love me

even if I was deformed.

Or if I was very thin.

I look high and low

and all around.

Now I really wonder

will my dreams about a loving family come true?

Because my hopes are fading.

Please!

MN's Poem for Sam

She wrote this the day he went to the vet. We didn't know if we would ever see him again. Get out your tissues.

Sam..... I Love You

I Love you,

Sam. When

you were a

pup I Loved you.

When you played

to rough I loved

You. Sam I love

you. Now I feel

hurt like you. I

can't believe what

happened. Yesterday

I missed you running

with me. I wish

Today was never

here! Sam, I love

you! Come back!

I miss you! Sam.....

.... I love you.

I'll pray, just keep

holding on! I love you.

Hold on I'm coming.

by: MN

Sam is holding on, but today he isn't eating well so I am worried. Please keep him in prayer.

She's At It Again....

The Meadow

I am in
the meadow
far beyond
Sitting on the
soft green
grass listening
to the birds,
deer, the rustling
of the grass
and the sweet
whispers of
God. I never
felt so quiet
and safe. Suddenly
the quiet was broke
by screams. I
stood up and looked
around. I saw kids
with scrapes and
bruises. Cuts and burns. Hearts
wounded and stomped
on. Listen! Look!
They are crying
and hurting,
crying
for someone
to love them!
Just listen
to them! Look
at the lives
you can save!
Help them!
They want you!
They need you!
They must have
You! You foolish
person! You say
its to hard to
deal with us!
When we need
you! You say
you can't
foster or
adopt us!
Why not pray!?
You say you can't
stand seeing us!
doesn't it not hurt
to see us hurt?
Please help!
set us free!
break our chains!
knock our bricks
off! Set us free!
Thank you! Keep
Praying! We need
Them! Thank you
for setting us free!

Thanks MN

PS keep praying! We need them a lot!
Thanks!
