Array ( [sid] => 141125 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Joan [time] => 2008-03-21 22:31:28 [hometext] => This poem was written for the beautiful lady who Fostered me for 7 years out of 18 years of foster care, Each year with her was filled with love, I am truly grateful there are wonderful people like her in this world. For you Joan. [bodytext] => September Rain upon my heart,
The weight of our depart,
It’s waiting for me to cart.
Seven loved years, They went so fast,
I swear I thought you were the last.
I wish away the pain for the maternal part,
Smiling as if I didn’t care,
While deep down my soul stood bare.
Forced to stand out in the cold,
Government believing you were too old,
Paranoia lead straight through the head,
Their lies painted me red
While they stole what I held so dear,
Just because the truth they fear,
They should have shot me dead,
Instead they gave me a mental trip.
My young heart they took out and ripped.
I was left without your arms,
I now live to share the knowledge of your charm,
A sweet lady brought up so well,
Saved a small child from the grip of hell.
Joan is a hero, Even if her age has seen five zero.

September Rain upon my heart,
The weight of our depart,
It’s waiting for me to cart.
Seven loved years, They went so fast,
I swear I thought you were the last.
I wish away the pain for the maternal part,
Smiling as if I didn’t care,
While deep down my soul stood bare.
Forced to stand out in the cold,
Government believing you were too old,
Paranoia lead straight through the head,
Their lies painted me red
While they stole what I held so dear,
Just because the truth they fear,
They should have shot me dead,
Instead they gave me a mental trip.
My young heart they took out and ripped.
I was left without your arms,
I now live to share the knowledge of your charm,
A sweet lady brought up so well,
Saved a small child from the grip of hell.
Joan is a hero, Even if her age has seen five zero.
