A Letter from a Foster ParentIn the heart of love, a seed was sown,
From it, a mighty tree has grown. The Twig, a beacon shining bright, A haven for souls in need of light. For foster children, often torn, By circumstances they were born, The Twig extends its loving hand, To help them firmly take a stand. Clothing and shoes, not just for show, But tools to help them truly grow. To erase the scars of difference and pain, So they can find their place again. In this haven, they build their dreams, A place where hope forever gleams. A sense of community, so strong, Where they truly do belong. Safety and love, like stars above, Guide them on their path to love. Relationships blossom, friendships bloom, In The Twig's embrace, there's no more gloom. Each day, each month, it's like Christmas cheer, For the children The Twig holds dear. A celebration of their worth, A reminder of their infinite birth. From The Twig, a tree, God's love did plant, A legacy of hope, so gallant. From one foster child, the journey began, To nurture others, with love as the plan. The Twig, an organization divine, With roots in love, like vintage wine. For foster children, it's a dove, A testament to the power of love. From The Twig, they blossom and thrive, In its warm embrace, they truly come alive. An amazing organization, forged from above, The Twig is a testament to boundless love. |
