Fostering

[aly]

I just wrote this. Just some feelings I go through when fostering.

There's a new baby in my house
Just for a short time, I know
But I am already so attached
I am looking at her as my own
I won't do this anymore!

She is so strong now
And a family is interested
Are they good enough?
Will I see her again?
I won't do this anymore!

The pain when they leave
To start their new lives
I am so happy for them,
But devastated inside
I won't do this anymore!

The tears spill out of my eyes
As I watch them walk out of my life
I know they will be happy
But I am so empty
I won't do this anymore!

What's that?
Another one in need?
Is he sick? Is he lonely?
He needs a temporary home?
Well, maybe just one more!

That's a great poem! I have so much respect for you being able to foster animals. I know I would be so sad everytime an animal left. Even though it's going to a good home I would still be so sad. When I do pet sits I get really attatched to the pets I'm caring for and my last pet sit I'm always sad because I'm never sure if I'll get to see them again.
