Good morning, day three wondering what Kj is doing....trying to hold back the tears, I think I have cried more in the last 4 days than I have in life. I'm sick of people telling me don't cry, you not the only one or looking at me as if I have lost my mind. I think God for Navy for Moms it good to chat with other moms that are going through or have already experience what I'm feeling. I would like to share a poem one of my friends shared with me her son is in the army. Thanks, T
I Give To You, My Son-
I held him as an infant; I hugged him as a boy
and through the years he has become my greatest pride and joy.
I love him more than I can say,
his life more precious than my own,
but gone are the whims and notions of the little boy that I had known.
For the years have passed so quickly since the time it all began
and now he stands before me with the conviction of a man.
He wants to serve his country, he states aloud with pride
as I try to sort out the emotions that I'm feeling deep inside...
a union of the uncertain fear, which I cannot control
and the allegiance which lies deep within my patriotic soul.
I trust that my years of guidance will serve as a strong foundation
as he performs the duties requested from his beloved nation.
God please guide him as he travels to the places our soldiers have bled
and walk with him through pathways where those heroes' feet have tread.
Oh Sweet Land of Liberty, humbly I give to you, my son
praying you'll return him safely home when his work for you is done.
