     coffee.

    in a bed before, and I am almost ten.

     his own room.

I am suffering. My mom's boyfriend broke
     my arm.
Can you please comfort me?

I feel worthless. No one ever wanted to be
     with me.
Can you teach me how to play ball?

I have been neglected. Every night, I wish
     I were never born.
Can you help me want to live?

     not big enough.

I have been bullied. All the kids call
    me "dirty boy."
Can I please bathe at your house?

    party.

I have no self-esteem. No matter what I 
    do, it isn't good enough.
Can you encourage me?

I have no role model. My dad left us, and 
    my mom went to jail.
Could you show me what is right and 
    wrong?
Never mind. You have yard work to do.

I have no friends. I have never gotten to
     go anywhere besides school.
Will you take me with you to church?Never mind. It would be too much of a
    hassle.

I have been abandoned. My mom leaves 
    my baby sister and me alone.

    when we left.

    me, and I don't know whom I can trust.
Can you introduce me to God?
Never mind. You have errands to run.

I am in need. There are not enough loving 
    foster parents.
Will you become one?  ....Never mind.
