" Little Feet, Little Minds"
[a foster parents story]

They come into our lives, one small child at
a time. Always scared and lonely and wondering what they'll find.
Their minds so full of questions and their
eyes filled with fear. Always listening closely just to see what they can hear.


Once someone's little angel, sent from heaven up above. Now battered, bruised, and
broken only wanting love. You offer them affection just to see them pull away, But
you keep on trying, every single day.

Little feet, little minds. So many children
so little time.


A child is like a garden-without love it
won't grow. But give it to them daily and
soon it starts to show. You see a little sparkle in eyes once filled with fear, you
hear a little laugh that sounds oh-so-dear.

Once somone's little angel, now ours for
awhile, That gives us hugs and kisses, and
a big warm smile. Now all those deep dark
secrets they've kept locked up inside, they
start to tell them to you a little at a time. As you sit and listen to the words they say. You ask yourself,"How come life
turns out this way."

Little feet, little minds. So many children
so little time.

Now the days are passing by and all their
fears are too. You hope you've made a
difference with all you say and do. And you
know you have when you hear I love you. It
makes it all worth while when bedtime comes
at night, and you get those hugs and kisses
when you turn out the lights.

Now as the love inside grows more and more
each day. The call you knew was coming finally comes your way. They're coming to get the angel that someone threw away. Now
your heart is breaking because you know that
they can't stay.

Little feet, little minds. So many children
so little time.

As you pack the memories that all of you have made. You gently wipe the tears streaming down your face. And as you place each item a reflection you will see, of the
child as they are today and how they used to be.

Once again the house falls silent of tiny
little feet. Gently softly running playing
hide and seek. Even though you're leaving
in our hearts you'll always stay, In a special place safely locked away.
GOD bless all little angel's from heaven up
above. May they all find family's, filled with happiness and love.

Little feet, little minds. So many children
so little time.
