The Caretaker

By Rick Smith

You knocked on the door of my heart Even though it was hardened and dark.

When I opened it up You made Your way in, Ready to forgive me of every sin.

Walking around and surveying the mess, You saw many things You had to address.

You opened up the doors I had tried to keep locked, And when You saw inside, You were not shocked.

You cleaned in corners where I tried to hide shame, When You were done, it didn’t look the same.

You looked in closets And in hidden spaces, Wiping away all of sins’ traces.

You even walked down halls patching the walls damaged from my many falls.

Your work inside my heart must be an endless chore, Because You said You’d be there forevermore.

Change a child' s story.

Children in foster care who have a CASA volunteer are more likely to succeed in school and adjust to change. And they ' re half as likely to re-enter the foster care system later. As a volunteer, you can make all the difference for a child who has experienced abuse or neglect in your community. Get involved, and change a child' s story.

Changing the lives of children here at home.
