The Greatest Honor

It takes a special person;
To be a mom or dad.
The joy when a child is born
Is enough to drive you mad!
Now when a child's adopted,
His family gets to choose;
The babe brought home to open arms,
A situation he can't lose.

Moving on to foster parents,
Whether young or old,
They take children into their homes,
And love them like their own.
They teach the children new things,
And how to trust again;
They show children the world out there,
Beyond the sorrow and pain.
Foster parents have hearts of gold,
And they often take the fall;
For this they have the greatest honor,
Appreciation, from us all.
