What if my mom tells me to work the street and not come home without money… And I know she means it…
What if all my stories begin with “When I was with another foster parent…”
What if I and my friends watch from the school bus window as my mother is arrested, cuffed, and put in the back of a police car…
What if my parent tells me to be good, not to cry… And puts me in a room with a man I do not know…
What if I want to learn about Jesus… Want to learn Bible verses… Want to be saved… But the church says they do not want me there.. Will not baptize me there… That I am worthless… Hopeless…
What if I just want to be loved…
What if I am only 10 years old…
