[bodytext] => 12:46 AM 3/20/2005 Nothing in her suitcase Accept clothes and a brush No past she can go back on No future she sees coming true Left in a strange place with other girl’s Some how just couldn’t be true Looking around her tiny bed Pillow dirty sheets are ruffled How come she didn’t have a place? To hide away her crying tears. She longs in hope of family And watches other girls be taken away Wishing she could be them Fantasizing a family The love and warmth Wanting hugs and kisses Is that too much to ask? Dusting off her bed Quietly she lies down Sleep over comes her Silently she dreams of a life She’ll never have she seems to think Thunder wakes her from the dream Sitting on the window seat she watching Raindrops pouring what is left of her life – nothing. One day alone in the bedroom While the other girls went outside to play A couple walked in and said "may we talk to you?" Sidney jumped up and offered them a seat on her bed They asked all sorts of questions like her age I'm nine she answered with a smile Then the words from their mouths were the words she's always wanted to hear We'd like to adopt you Her eyes lit up and for a second no words came out Then she burst with joy the answer "yes"! Today she writes in her journal Her happy little place—home She draws smiles in her book Her days of being and orphan are over Dreams she once thought would never come Came to her in the blink of a wish that Was so gratefully answered. © Care & Amy [comments] => 0 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 14 [informant] => KishaLovesCare126 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )
