From Now to Then

When I was two you said you love me
When I was four you said you love

When I turned six you said you love me
Just before you died

So now I am left with my dad
A couple years later he began to drink

He drank so much that he hurt me without knowing
I was nine when I was placed in a new home

From that day on
My life had changed

I was passed from home to home
Family to family
I had no place to call my own

I prayed from that day on
"God help my through life"


This poem is not about me, but is about some experiences I have had with a few people. This is my first poem ever written.
