Although you’re not their parent,
We place them in your home.
You care for them each day,
And take them as your own.
You cuddle, sing, and read to them
And watch them as they play.
We see so many accomplishments,
As you help them grow each day.
You understand their language,
You know what’s in their heart.
We’re so proud of your commitment to them
Something we hoped from the start.
No, you may not be their parent,
But your role is just as strong.
You nurture them and keep them safe,
Even though it may not be for long.
Some days the children come,
And some days you and they will part.
But we know each child we placed with you will be
FOREVER IN YOUR HEART!
For each one of you put in tears and laughter hours upon hours,
It wasn’t just the children who needed you.
Which is why the gratitude is also ours!
