A MOTHER'S SILENT PRAYER
A Sailor now
serving our country.
A man by all measure,
yet a boy always in her heart.
An oath has been sworn
The Sailor leaves to make his way.
His is a new family now
with siblings the world over.
Yet a tiny rural town
tugs at his heart, with
an eternal reminder of
another oath, another bond,
another family, and his Mom,
who sends him blessings
every morning for a safe day.
And whispers his name every night,
that his life be an honorable one.
A Mother's silent prayer
for a son whom she knows,
may never come home again.
