My Trash Can Home

Why was I put in the trash,
                     
unloved and unwanted.
                                                 
Were you young,
unloved yourself.
                                                         
A life to live among the garbage,
                                     
with just a rag as a blanket.
                                           
Wet and cold I did lay,
hoping for a brighter day.
                                             
A small life found,
                                                       
a small life not forgotten.
                                               
A life to grow,
                                                               
a life to be loved.
                                                           
Why was I put in the trash,
                                             
I will never know.
                                                         
What has this taught me,
                                               
to love myself and others everyday.
