First Son

Something that just came to me tonight. I hope you like it.

First Son….

 

Eldest son of three

Dearest spirit Eternally

Heart of grace, left to train

New brothers found and remain

Brothers of Adam; Sons of mine

Although, we’ve not yet met in time

Brothers in arms, train to fight

Train to have each other’s might

 

You train hard, you train long

You work hard; you get along

Keep each other safe from harm

Keep each other mentally strong

Party hard at weeks’ end

Steer clear from ink's blend

Protect their backs; prevent strife

Work together; Marines for life

Your boys are so precious to you, that I can tell from your writing. You write so beautifully for them and with them in mind - your love for them is so beautiful to see and sometimes be able to experience it from your point of view.

Truly a magnificent piece of work. You know I adore your work!

My brother is in the army, and I know my parents feel the same way. Pride and joy but also fear. You have captured that turmoil and happiness mixture perfectly dear friend!! May your worries be lessened and joys multiplied.
:D

Yay, marines for life!!!!!
The poem sounds so enthusiastic, and heartfelt, I got a bit carried away, Ocean Star!! :D
I understand that sending your children into the armed forces is a challenging task for any parent, but it is equally rewarding too. After all, I am sure it makes you feel super proud (as I can see from your amazing poems).....
You are a wonderful mom, dear!! Love ya to the moon (and the ocean star) and back!!!! :D

Oh, thank you so much for looking at this one, dearest friend. I'm delighted you enjoyed it. It is a mixed bag of pride and worry. Pride and worry every day. I try very hard to focus on the first, and ignore the second. No use worrying over things we have no control over. Just lots and lots of prayers every day! Thank you again!
