A letter
Some times you think your doing best
By giving your child up
When all you are doing is making it worse
They lock their self away from you
And the world too…
Sitting, hiding from everyone
In their secret place, where pain is not done
Memories pressing against their minds
Making them remember the awful times
Confused and scared…wondering why
Wondering was it their fault….
Thinking of the abuse
Lit a fuse…
That child committed suicide
You heard about it on the news
And the letter addressed to you…
Dear Mom,
I don’t understand why you don’t want me
I just don’t see…
I was so young, mom I love you
Why don’t you love me to
You promised to come back for me
You never showed up
Mom please just know I love you so
That child had a hard life
Changing her life around
No one saw it coming
She seemed so happy and loved

It is a great act of Love
It is a great act of Love from a Mother to her Child. The hardest thing I ever had to do was this. Check out my blog, Re: The Precious Value of Time. It does NOT mean the child was unwanted. I'll never forget the day my son told me "Mom, if you Love us you'll let us go". You see sometimes a parent is not able to give what the children need and in Love for the child the parent must make the heart wrenching sacrifice to allow someone else to care for the child ,in order for the childs needs to be met. It is heartbreaking for both mother and child but Love need not be possessed in the palm of the hand to be felt.
Love is an energy that travels through the universe. As I told my child: Do you see the wind? Can you catch it? Love is like this... It is there even if you do not see it. Love exists. Love is there even though you can not capture it in a physical form.
Love exists even though you see it not , just like the wind.
My mother gave me up too, I know how it feels. I know she did it to protect me. I know she had no other options. I love her for that. I just wish she would have done it when I was much younger and saved me the abuse I did suffer. Alot of people go through this, we are survivors.
thank you
I dont know to be honest I think I would have rather lived with my mom than to have to live in foster homes and still being abused. I miss my mom, I just wish that I could at least see her if anything at all.
I would like to say I am a survior and I might be but some times I just wanna give up. Foster care moves me around alot and some of the homes they put me in arent all that good, I dont know I would much rather be with my mom.

So happy to hear from you...
It's a beautiful day, the birds are singing, the sun is shinning, & Love is in the air. I was trying to send you a buddy invitation but can't seem to find where to go. If you know how, I'd like to be your buddy.
I really do understand what you are going through & I'd like to be here for you. One of the things that helped me was I joined the F.C.A.A. which is the Foster Care Alumni of America. For children there is a site called Fosterclub.org where you can get helpful information such as your rights while in foster care. You can talk to other youth in your similar situation. Your voice does matter Alisha and although I don't know you, I cared for you the moment I read your poem. Your words really touched me.
I want you to know as a member of F.C.A.A myself and hundreds of others are working toward making changes so you can have a happier life. Please hold on & be strong and know that you are loved, wanted, and cared about. It is good that you are reaching out and breaking the silence. This is a step toward healing and I am very proud of you for being brave. You don't have to go through this alone.
You may not realize it yet but there are hundreds of people by your side, Spiritually to help you. Love is an invisible force but Love is with you. (big smile)
I know
Its hard and I know there are kids that have been threw what I have....people I know tell me they are surprised I am not screwed up like the other kids that have been threw what i have and It makes me mad cuz they really dont know the real me. Thank you for every thing, it means alot to know there are others out there that are trying to help. Well I finally met like a best friend that understands what I have been threw. so shes helped me in so many ways,
Thank you for caring
