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.



@sarah elizabeth rose (Veteran, and mother of son, currently serving)
