Letter to the Editor

I got my son taken from me and I am mad. I didn’t know how I would feel but it’s worst than bad. Ohhh I don’t know what to do. Ohh I don’t know what to say but I don’t want to feel this way. 

I heard Foster care ain’t too perfect. Him being in there ain’t good either. I’d rather it be neither. Ohh whoa I miss him today. Ohh whoa I feel this aching in my heart every day. Ohh whoa call on strength. Ohh whoa free the little sir. My darling dear son, come back to me. My darling dear son, an angel to we. My darling dear son, so handsome he’s pretty. My darling dear son, almost two years old 11-11-24 his precious birthday and still so itty bitty. 

Please Lord, I need to see. My precious boy in my arms, awaken thee. I’m so lost, I can’t be me. Ohh whoa I’m not given up. Ohh whoa I haven’t had enough. Ohwhoa I’ll forever be yours. Together we’ll end this tug of war.
