the beast that is foster care

June 12, 2011

.
if foster care were an animal, what would it be…

.
a chameleon, so difficult to see,

changing colors, to deceive you and me?
.
OR
.
the queen whose hive is up in the tree…

in charge of what happens to the bee family?
.
OR
.
a giant tortoise, up from the sea …

it takes them forever, they move so slowly?
.
OR
.
a hyena, in the desert laughing wildly…

its jaws so powerful, they’ll rip you apart quickly?
.
OR
.
a giant panda, gentle and cuddly …

it cares for its young, so tenderly?
.
OR
.
a 17-year cicada, eating in a tree …

these insects come around so rarely?
.
OR
.
a great white shark, in the ocean so free…

beware, it’s a creature extremely deadly?


11 years spent by me…

living in the animal kingdom, so dangerously.

kids dont belong with monkeys in trees,

kids like me, belong in FOREVER families…
