Nothing in her suitcase
Accept clothes and a brush
No past she can go back on
No future she sees coming true
Left in a strange place with other girl’s
Some how just couldn’t be true
Looking around her tiny bed
Pillow dirty sheets are ruffled
How come she didn’t have a place?
To hide away her crying tears.

She longs in hope of family
And watches other girls be taken away
Wishing she could be them
Fantasizing a family
The love and warmth
Wanting hugs and kisses
Is that too much to ask?

Dusting off her bed
Quietly she lies down
Sleep over comes her
Silently she dreams of a life
She’ll never have she seems to think
Thunder wakes her from the dream
Sitting on the window seat she watching
Raindrops pouring what is left of her life – nothing.

One day alone in the bedroom
While the other girls went outside to play
A couple walked in and said "may we talk to you?"
Sidney jumped up and offered them a seat on her bed
They asked all sorts of questions like her age
I'm nine she answered with a smile
Then the words from their mouths were the words she's always wanted to hear
We'd like to adopt you
Her eyes lit up and for a second no words came out
Then she burst with joy the answer "yes"!

Today she writes in her journal
Her happy little place—home
She draws smiles in her book
Her days of being and orphan are over
Dreams she once thought would never come
Came to her in the blink of a wish that
Was so gratefully answered.
