One of our young people wrote this amazing poem about being fostered. We think that you will all agree on how brilliant it is. We feel very proud and are delighted to showcase her work. Well done S!
In the shadows of a room not
Mine,
a silence wraps the space,
Divine.
Walls adorned with memories, paint,
Stories told in whispers, quaint.
Hearts hold tight to dreams
Unheard.
In gentle hopes, a child’s
Word.
A world of faces passing by,
Each a guardian, a fleeting sign.
Boxes packed with laughter,
Tears.
A journey shaped by shifting
Gears
Yet this place where roots may sway,
Love finds a way, come what may.
With every dawn, a chance to
Grow.
Through tangled paths, our spirits
Flow.
For in each hug, a kind embrace,
A sense of home, a sacred space.
Tender hands provide the
Care,
In moments shared, a bond laid
Bare.
Though night may stretch with endless ache,
The strength within, nothing can break.
So here I stand, a hopeful
Heart,
In stories woven, I’ll play my
Part.
For foster care, a winding road,
But in this journey, love is bestowed.
