Goodbye, My Darling Foster Child

April 1, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is foster children and adoption.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A goodbye poem to a foster child who has to move on to a new foster home:

Goodbye, my darling foster child,

On to another home!

Open doors remain behind.

Do but turn, and you will find

Bestride your heart, my own.

You may the wind, unwept and wild,

Embrace, but not alone.
