We may be laughing, crying, working or playing

“We. The people” live We may be laughing, crying, working or playing  in shapes, sizes, and colors 
Some of we are men; some women 
 thus We come from all walks of life 
Some are married some single; and some are in-between. 
Some are young; and, some not so young 
Some have money to burn; and, some must burn the budget 
Some stay home and others hold down more than one job 
to provide for the children in their care. 
Some gave birth to many children some only one,                                       

some never gave birth but care for the children of their spouses,

 brothers, sisters, and the children of strangers. 
The one thing we have in common is the love we have for our families,

the knowledge that we must do what is right no matter the personal costs and the determination to carry on when the bio parents of children have failed. We pick up the pieces of shattered families and try to heal the pain that we may not have caused but cannot ignore
You'll see at schools, doctor's offices, in the supermarket or the park 
We may be laughing, crying, working or playing 
We not only try to make things better for our own children 
but for children everywhere.
