I'll love her each day that I'm granted

"Don't get attached" They told me. "I could never do it" They said. "My heart would be broken!" "When she leaves.... I'd be dead!" "The system is messy, You'll end up depressed. Think of the behaviors She will spread to the rest. A good friend I am being, When I give warning to you. They will come with such issues You're a fool to pursue." In one ear and out the other Clearly you are not a foster mother. One look at the child in my care. How can I think about "what is fair?" This baby has suffered so much in her life How can I turn my head, when I know of her strife? My heart is wide open with no guard to protect it My faith is in God and I know He'll direct it. When I look at her face, her potential I see... I know that she is relying on me. I'll hold her and love her unconditionally. And if the time comes, that goodbye I must say I'd hope she would carry our love, on her way I'd pray that she's happy and that I did enough, I'd plead with God to watch over her from heaven above. IF....His plan is that mine forever, she'll be? I'll be honored to cherish her for eternity.
