From the Edge of the Shore
.
I was holding your hand, …you were such a brave little knight…
On that first day of kindergarten, ...as you walked out of sight
Now, binoculars find you….standing proud in your whites…
I can see you so clearly and my throat squeezes tight
We have watched from the dock, from each shore of your life
There are no words to tell you, how each moment shined bright
~
with bravado, and a winning smile, your spirit and courage, always shining
.........................
Dedicated to my beloved grandson..who has just returned from deployment aboard the U.S.S. Truxtun
