Out Like a Lamb

Finding Home

We are working on a group home for our son
compiling lists of inquiries, requests...
He has graduated from the safety net of school;
an eaglet fledged from sheltered egg and nest

The first time was emergency and plight
and we were pleading, panicked, wretched, scared
No questions asked: just take him, save him now
our nerves exposed, our desperation bared

Today we face, prepared this time, a change;
we hope we have the chance to have him near
the blessings come in whispers - choices, plans -
a future filled with so much more more than fear.
