My son
A hundred times I’ve thought of you in a day
I waited for your call
Just the sound of your voice…. Reassuring me
That you are fine.
I know you’re hurting and just want to come home.
But wait… give yourself time.
Time to settle, to adjust to a new life.
You make choices in life-some good, some not so good.
I know this is a good one.
Be brave, my son
Stand tall and be strong.
You’ve worked so hard for this.
Your dream.
For months you’ve lived and breathed this destiny.
It was the plan. Meant to be. Your vision for the future.
What happened, my son?
Life changed-emotions snuck in and took over.
You are so far away.
My heart aches for you.
Yearning to hug you, to comfort you.
So sad… like a helpless cub lost in the forest.
It’s OK, my son.
You can come home.
Be sure… be certain
That this is really what you want.
Big decisions. You are in control.
I’ll wait for you
Arms wide open… ready.
Worry no more, my son.
Soon you’ll be back.
