With Their Families

The choice we are making
to defund the services
will cause lasting pain
will tear apart families
Many of these
the only hope for them
that their loved ones will live
with their families
that they will not be shipped away
to some state facility
at great cost
to these we are shifting
the burden that we share
to love our neighbors
to offer them care
this will be our legacy
if we continue on this path
