The House On The Corner Poem by Michaela Araskiewicz

The House On The Corner



And the people there too!
they are the most beautiful sight i've
ever seen,
And when I finally did find out how much of an impact those five people had on my life,
I'll never forget that day at the beach,
when Tammy said she would fight for me. The battle was between her and my Aunt, on where I should live for the time being.
She won!
Those were the two happiest years of my life. My two best friends were my brother and my sister,
And when I went to bed each night I knew that they would be there for me in the morning.
Until one day
Tammy said she had bad news for me, she made Victoria, Steven and I all sit in the living room and she told me my mom had one 'the battle' and 'the prize' was me.
It broke my heart thinking about leaving them to live with someone else,
I was moving in with a stranger
A stranger I call mom.

Wow Michaela, this really made an impact on me. I used to be a foster parent and I remember how it felt when one of my kids would be returned to their parent, even though the child and I knew it wasn't right at that time. He wanted to stay with me and I wanted him to stay with me. I can could only imagine how he felt that day. Your words have given me vision into a day long past. Be well Darlin'.
