a little older write for me

A Mother's Heart
She brought this babe
Into this world with such care,
A life full of hope and dreams
Nothing will happen to him...nothing would dare.
She sends him to school
And days filled with little league,
Never a thought he would
One day leave dressed in fatigues.
That day came too soon
A day covered in clouds,
Kissing him goodbye
Knowing he would make her proud.
Her son fought for his beliefs
For the red, white, and blue,
For independence and justice
Freedom for his mother and for you.
There is nothing more wrenching
Then that of a mothers cry,
For the loss of her child
And the call saying her son has died.
You see I can not understand
I can not say its okay,
All I can do now Is kneel down and pray.
"Dear God
I know you have taken him
And made him strong once more,
But I miss him so terribly
All the way to my core.
There is no way to describe
This pain which fills my soul,
Could you not take me too
Release me from this black hole."
Her son fought for his beliefs
For the red, white, and blue,
For independence and justice
Freedom for his mother and for you.
Can you even for a moment
Imagine the ripping apart,
The pain and agony of
A mother's heart.

so sad yet beautifully written Edie...So many mothers have had to feel that pain lately...several from here..But you know..They stood proud....faught for what they believed in...And we should all be very proud of them for that...great write hun...huggggggssss

I can't even imagine what that would be like.

Nor can I really BJ...my oldest is a senior in high school this year...and will be joining the military when he is through. Not sure which branch yet, but it scares the living daylights out of me!

Dreamer..this is the storm mothers endure, to me its unbelievable the strength all mothers hold. Vincent

Hi Dreamer:
Hi AKA SunShine:
No mother should have to endure such pain. We as Americans should be on our knees praying for peace and for our men and women that are fighting for our freedom. I am a strong believer that we should also be praying for the families of these brave men and women. Eddie, as usual, another beautiful poem with so much HEART. Awesome write…..
Love,
Harvey

whew, having a coworker who just lost her son....this one hits hard.

This is so beautiful Eddi,
I cannot imagine it not at all. I can understand how you are fearful as well.
I had and still have family members and friends in the war and that was and is hard enough, the worry. I cannot imagine a son or a daughter there. Mothers also need recognized for their sacrifice for our country.

OMFG! You whore! I thought that your son had died. Do you know how close I was to tears for you. YOU SUCK!
Heartwrenching, trully. :'(
