My Son Ross

MY Son Ross My son has a special purpose in life. I am sure of it. His life was spared thrice. Yesterday, he was a babe in arms; the days and years have passed way too fast. Somehow, without permission (lol) the boy turned into a man, a good man. Only yesterday, he went off to school…we vacationed and camped. Everywhere! Next thing I knew, he was graduating from high school and started working. Ross, the baby in the family, is going to join the Air Force in ten days…far away. My son has optimism and has set career goals; I love Ross and shall miss him terribly. Soon, his life will change. I can see him in my minds eye: exercise and more exercise. Strong and honorable, my son shall go forth and do some good in the world…love, peace. © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen February 13, 2010 Poetic form: Acrostic To see my son, Ross, use the following link to go to my Poetry Soup Photo Gallery: http:// poetrysoup.com/poetry_blog/blog_detail.aspx?BlogID=4830&PoetID=14403
