Tony’s Poem

Left behind broken and abandoned.
That’s the life that I was handed.
My mother was never there,
And my father didn’t really care.
I thought they loved me,
But now I can clearly see.
They loved everything except me
Especially alcohol, money, and weed.
I gotta move on and don’t let it bother me now,
But for some reason I don’t know how.
Now I keep my head held high
And I told my parents goodbye
My life has a better meaning.
And I promise on my beating heart
That nobody will tear me apart.
So leave me be… Let me keep dreaming.

I never wanna be what I want to be
But there’s always something out there yet for me
I get a kick outta living in the here and now,
But I never wanna feel I know the best way how
Because there’s always one hill higher with a better view,
Something waiting to be learned I never knew.
So ‘til my days are over
Never fully fill my cup.
Let me go on growing,
Growing up.

I lived in the Home back in the 1960’s we didn’t have what they have now. It was good all they had for us to do. I lived there for 5 1/2 yrs. Really had an enjoyable time there learned a lot in those years. I raised my children as I was taught. They are grown now. Thank you Fl. Methodist Children’s Home.

I lived here for a while as a young teen in 1991-1993! Fumch was hands down the best group home I had ever lived in. My house parents Cath and Kathy were the very best. I would love to connect again with all the friends I made there. Between the campus as a whole and high school friends my young teen years ended up being wonderful. Thank you for turning my dark lonely life into a bright light in my heart.
