To My Son With Love

I don’t know where you going I don’t know what to do I don’t know how to save Your own life and you So many years went by When you left your home, your nest I always wanted nothing more For you to have the best You let yourself so easy You chose easy life to live You are so good in heart You have so much to give Life is so fragile and frail Life is like mist in the rain We have only one life to live Only one life, and never again Why waste your life On things that make you weak You are funny and smart Handsome and unique So many people love you How hard it is to see Your biggest fan of all It is of course - me You put yourself together You turn your life around The love you seeking for One day I’m sure you’ll find I wish for you to have the best To see the world, have fun I wish for you the best in all Simply because, you are my son

Thank you Arthur, I'm not proud that my son made poor choices in the past, but I am proud of him that he turned his life for better. Thank you again for coming back... :)

A very moving piece. We want the best for our children. Many a child has been lifted by a mother's loving prayers. He is fortunate to have such a loving mom.
