***authors note***
As you know, I work in a group home...well next
Tuesday will be my last day with my boys, the
administration is moving me to the girls home.
I talked w/ my boys today...and there is one
boy who in particular is taking my departure
very hard...his name is Wil. He's been up for
adoption several times but for various reasons
he's never been...my heart and soul go out to
him...he is very special to me, they all are,
but he even more so...This is to him.

Take This With You

Through the four months of being with you, I have come to love you like you're my own
Though I have no children in my life, my love for you sweet boy has tremendously grown
I know the pain you've endured, it's so easy to see it in your eyes
I am sorry that it's me who once again is having to tell you Goodbye

Take this with you, the love I surely feel for you
Know that everything I ever told you has been true
You've touched me deep inside my heart and soul
I hope that we've helped to make each other whole
You've taught me things I had forgotten or maybe just didn't know
I've never held back from you, always my real feelings I show

I know you're waiting for adoption, and I pray all your dreams come true
Take with you, the love I feel for you
Remember our good times, the times we've laughed and held on tight
You have become in my life, a wonderful joyous light

Take with you the memories, both happy and sad
Remember I won't be too far away, it isn't that bad
Just know that you've become so much to me
I think our meeting was one of those things meant to be

I am going to miss you, I will miss your smile and even your sarcastic way
I'll be thinking of you, just remember I'm only a phone call away
When the moon is out at night, and you are feeling sad and blue
Just know that my thoughts and prayers will be often turned to you

I've offered my heart and my hand, now I am offering you something more
A friendship to last for all time, don't you see this is just a new opened door
The future is yours for the taking, I know you will go far in life
You'll make a good father some day and have a beautiful wife

I'll never forget these days we've shared, and I know you will hold them close to
So take this with you
Take this with you my sweet little friend
Remember I shall be there for you till the very end

I love you my little William...and always will. Please take care.
Miss Amy

P.S. I gave this to him today. He is going to frame it. BIG SMILES!
