Why You Don’t Foster
by John Flores
You don’t do it because they’re sick
You do it because they’ll get better
You don’t do it because they’re old
You do it so you can find them a family to grow old together
You don’t do it do because they might die
You do it so they don’t die alone
You don’t do it for yourself
You do it to show them the love they were never shown
You don’t do it to change the world
You do it because they changed yours
You don’t do it because you have to give them up
You do it because you never give up
You don’t do it because it breaks your heart
You do it because that’s what’s right
You don’t do it because you can
You do it because you want to
You don’t do it because there are bad people in this world
You do it to show there are still good people left
You don’t do it because you get attached
You do it because they need you
You don’t do it because nobody wants them
You do it because there’s someone out there that does
You’re not trying to do the impossible
You’re just trying to do WHAT’S possible
