My Son (His Navy Years)

This son is my youngest and has a birthday this month

I recall his growing up years and toddling after his brother.

I remember my Mother-in-law saying the time would go fast

on days when I thought two little boys were a lot of trouble

for this MOM...

I didn't believe her then and now...

I know she knew because she had two sons too

that were grown .

This son needed us more then his brother

and today is no different then back then...

I yearn to hold him in my arms and keep him safe

BUT

This is not something a Mom can do

we must let them make their mistakes

while loving them and being there

to support them when needed...

I know Mothers reading this will know

where my heart is as I write these words

AND

Remember his time as a child

His time in school

His time in the Navy

His time trying to live life after the Navy.

My Mothers heart aches

and sometimes breaks

BUT

I cry his name out to the Lord

and place him in the hands that can heal

Anything-Anywhere

this is all a mother can do

all she should do.
