The last time...

Lunchtime, and he doesn't really want to play with me. I could hear his stomach growling from where I sat. All he wanted to do was wait at the door for someone to say it was time to eat.
All I could do was wish he could understand that today is the last time he will wait at this door to eat.
This is the last time he will sit at a table with several other children as they all eat as fast as they possibly can.
This is the last time he will eat pure mush.
Tonight is the last time he will sleep in a room with 10 other children.
Tonight is the last time he will go to bed an orphan.
This is the last time .......

    Do you know that song by Skillet called Last Night? This is the last night youll spend alone so look me the eyes so I know you know Im everything you need me to be. The last night away from me.

    It seemed fitting when I read this post :)

    Be blessed
