I Wish Poem by Dianna Nally

So many children sitting in homes
where they know they are not wanted.
Mistreated, used as though they were slaves
It's not a home when you feel unwanted.

There are people out there who would give their right arm
To be able to have a child of their own
And yet they are afraid to adopt a child
with a history from the twilight zone.

But these children are this way
because it's the only kind of life they know
But if given the chance at a real life
In school and ethics they can grow.

It's the children i worry about in these horror stories
The parents have had their chance
I say take these children from the nightmares they live
And give them the right and the chance to enhance.

I'm sorry if to some this sounds cruel
But isn't the life these kids have just as bad?
We can't leave them there to slave or die
Anyplace is better then what they had.

GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN! ! !
