Poem written by an 11yr old young person

My life was no fun

My fears would make me run.

Until out of the blue

I met you.

I became a foster child not once but twice

When I hurt myself you gave me ice.

You helped me learn

Everything I get I earn.

I am a little bit sad

Sometimes I get a little bit mad.

Me and my brothers would hit and hit

Until one day we got split.

We see each other often

We all need a correction.

Ive learnt a lot of things

And my foster carer says

Teamwork makes the dream work.

I do much better now in foster care

I smile most days

I hope you can do a favour

And help people to become more able

And children who have lost hope

And start believing

Bring them in and give them a second chance in life.

With thanks to the poet and Progress Foster Care
