There once was a child who always failed
in every attempt he became derailed
the simplest things in life were too tough
try as he might, his efforts, just not enough
All the children made fun of him each day
his only consolation was to stop and pray
He'd ask the Lord to give him strength and abilities
and someone to guide him through life's difficulties
Then one fateful day, there was a knock at the door
police took his parents, they weren't coming home anymore
a lady placed the battered boy in the back of a van
said, "you'll not be hurt again by that woman or man."
The child sat quietly, scared and ashamed
sure that somehow, he would bear the blame
the van drove a distance to a strange house
the child was introduced to a man and his spouse
The little boy was welcomed with a warm embrace
and something unfamiliar, they had smiles on their face
he was shown to a room that was set up for boys
it had things he never had, including boy toys
They spoke softly and with kindness, it felt nice
something told the child he got lucky twice
once when they took his parents and then placed here
in a house that appeared to be full of joy and cheer
Full of love and happiness, it was indeed
they filled that child's every single need
their words of praise and actions of love
created a child who was able to rise above
No longer did he fail at his every attempt
just the thought of the word can't gave him contempt
He thanked the Lord on a daily basis
for his new family and those loving faces
For he knew deep down in his heart
that the Lord was responsible for this fresh start
and he made a promise to himself
when he had kids, harsh words would remain on the shelf
