Adoptive parents

David A Liebermann

I was hurt and lost
When I arrived there
I had to travel at low cost
And just sit on a chair

The place was beautiful
You could hear the birds singing
It was for me restful
And could hear myself thinking

A fresh start was offer to me
To try to heal and grow
I was offering some tea
And some juice and straw

Later on I received a family
They were full of smiles and joy
Without hesitation they welcome me
This teenager a bit destroy

They show me the other way
The way full of understanding
Where you can hear what you say
And at the end still standing

I finally could feel that I belong
That happiness can be in my life
I can recovery and be strong
It was time to let down my knifes

To discover the beauty of a family
To enjoy every moment
To leave at last happily
Without hearing any comments

I could learn and discover
Because I had new parents
That help me recover
By been there and present

They offer me a home
I was one of they own
I felt that I have a home
Where I can finish to grow

They give love unconditionally
I could leave down my defends
And enjoy to be part of a family
This time I could stop to pretend

As my healing coming to the end
I can look backwards and say thanks
To this family who give me love
And was supportive on the road I drove

Thank you that you opened the door
Thank you for the love you give to me
You have giving me a core
That will always be with me.

  • Comment from author about the poem: When I move from Belgium to Israel, I went to live in a Kibbutz. There, since I was alone, I got some adoptive parents. They were exceptional and help me in many ways.
