How Do I Say Good-Bye

How do you go on knowing you just lost,
  to know you can't do what another can,
  and if you could/did you would be striking your own hand,
you hung on as long as you could and paid a cost,

You stepped in to pick them up dry there tears and helped them believe,
   but the ending is just days away and you have to let them go,
   you knew this day was going to come and what you taught them shows,
she lost her kids and into the system they'll go and you can't give them what they need,

How dose a mother lose her kids, how can I say good bye,
   I watch her tears fall for they are here kids no more she has no rights,
   my nephew  and nieces with love I stepped in to help you  fight ,
  18 months while here I told,showed, displayed love, and helped them cry. 

A mother who knew and chose to let them go is my sister no more,
  you chose over your own, abused your own you, you let him.....,
  who would of thought as we played as kids that this light would dim,
we stood by each other fought for one another, and to your own you closed the door,

I know I'll forgive you, and God may too but you hurt these kids and they wont,
  in foster homes away from family they will grow and I hope I can be in their life's,
  they didn't deserve this, nor did you deserve them you really don't,
I hope and pray they take nothing you taught them as a husband and wifes,

May the rest of their life be filled with love hope and understanding ,
  my Gods test for them reach it's end 
  they had enough bad in their life's and I hope their hearts mend,
but how do I say good-bye as my heart meets this crash landing.
