Eagle, Globe and Anchor

I walked outside today As I watched the sunrise I thought of the item that was handed to you After the crucible The Eagle, The Globe, The Anchor I know to you it meant you made It through the toughest 13 weeks of your life It means that now you are a MARINE You learned and trained hard you proved that "you did it" But to me it means so much more The Anchor Is what holds you in what you believe It is the strength that will keep you grounded The Globe This is for everything you will see, feel and explore The Eagle Those are the wings for which you where raised The wings that will help you soar so far in your life Because you see my son you have been My Eagle, My Globe and My Anchor Since the day you were born

Hi Jennifer, this is such a beautiful, touching dedication to your son that I can so easily identify with. When you have a spare minute, please take a look at my poem, "Tribute to Jayson, My Brave Warrior" who is in the Army. Please accept my best wishes and I pray that your son will be safe from all harm. Warmest regards.
