I sit here as you come
Inspect me everyday.
I wait here for you,
And behave in the very best way.

I look at you
With sad, wide eyes.
As my tears swell
When you say, "No thank you, good bye."

More people like you come
And inspect me as you had
Judge me by appearance
And say that I was bad.

I lie in my bunk
All night long
Crying into my pillow
What had I done wrong?

Inner cries of help
Overflow into my eyes
It's you who rejected me
It's you whom I despise

Just because I'm not perfect
Because I'm not pretty
Doesn't mean I can't make you proud
Or make you happy

It doesn't mean I don't have feelings
Nor that I'm not there
It mean i want to be loved
For someone to care!

But then someone new came along
And she smiled at me
Inside I hope
That she was my mother to be

She picked me up
Gave me an "eskimo kiss"
My heart melted
I was in immediate bliss

Now I have a home
Now I am happy
Never will I say again

"Please, will you adopt me....?"


AUTHOR'S NOTE: this is a poem that I hope instills hope in your heart,
