Love

This was a poem my son sent me from Advanced Training in the Marine Corp... It was my birthday present.

Love…from my Son…

 

 

Love is easy

Love is hard

Life holds you by the hand

Life can set you to fail

Seek Existence

Seek Serenity

Find your Soul

Your Passion, Your Strength

Release Obligation to many

Claim Religion to One

Love is easy

Love is hard

Keep love close at hand

Love will keep you from failing

Love your Existence

Love your Serenity

Love your Soul

For it’s passion and strength

Love your religion to God

Love is God

God is Love

Author's Note

This is his first poem in several years, and I just got it in the mail. So, obviously...I had to publish it and let you all read it. He's such a sweetheart. Thank you all for your kindness and support this summer when he was away. He is still away, but his life is infinitely easier when someone isn't spitting down your neck and screaming your head off 24/7. Be blessed, my friends...

he's a deep thinker isn't he!? and serving our country as a Marine .. God bless him! .. with a focus on such age old wisdom and truth in the last two lines how can he not be blessed ... and he loves his mom doesn't he ;) i will venture a guess you play a part in his creativity in expression .. nice job and thank you for sharing this personal part of your life ..

Thank you, E! He started writing some really fierce poetry in high school, but hasn't picked up the pen in several years. He reads anything he can get his hands on, and I have no idea where he gets half of his ideas...but I'm so glad you guys enjoyed this. He's a great kid...:)
