From Boy to Man |

How
do you let go of the life you gave
Who grew up so strong and brave? How do I truly say, it’s okay… That you’re leaving, going so far away?
|
This poem is dedicated to my only son, who has joined the Marines. I'll miss him and pray for his safe return.
It was also, given "The Editor's Choice Award", by the International Society of Poetry.

How
do you let go of the life you gave
Who grew up so strong and brave? How do I truly say, it’s okay… That you’re leaving, going so far away?

My heart fills with pride in his decision.
My heart grieves for the loss of my son. A boy is leaving; a young man will transform. I’ll miss the boy, yet embrace my young, man son.

| Years
went by too quickly and are now past
Yet, the bond we share is one that will last. He’ll be back I know, for a short while, When he leaves again, I’ll be forcing a smile.
