stay. <BR>At first I thought you sent me away. <BR>Then that second lesson became perfectly clear. <BR>No matter how far, you will always be near. <BR>And so, Foster Mom, you know I've moved on. <B>I have a new home, with toys and a lawn. <BR>But I'll never forget what I learned that first day. <BR>You never really give your fosters away. <BR>You gave me these thoughts to remember you by. <BR>We may never meet again, and now I know why. <BR>You'll remember I lived with you for a time. <BR>I may not be yours, but you'll always be mine. <BR>- Author Unknown</B></DIV></div><br>
