My soulfelt feelings as anxiously awaiting the day of my son’s return.


image by author

As I sit and wonder,
where are you as I write.
you are my youngest son,
and into war you go to fight.
The way that I feel inside,
the worry I do tell.
as God I pray protect him
from that place we all call hell.
If you listen closely,
I am sure you’ll here the chant,
of all the men and woman sent into war,
for our freedom they will grant.
Proud Americans as they do stand
with all of us in mind.
as they walk in dangers way
until home again they’ll find.
As a Mother I cant explain,
the way my soul is felt.
As I sit and wonder,
what else to him will be dealt.
Be safe for me my angel,
as you walk the danger side
Ill wait for you until the day,
home again you come with pride.

    May your son return to you with Godspeed. I salute him for what he does for our country. Be brave, for he is. Beautiful poem.

    My prayers are with you and your son. My son just got back from the middle east a few months ago now he’s leaving on his second tour in Korea, but this time he leaves a wife behind. He’s only been in the service a little over 5 years. I’ve seen him once.

    I know how he must feel if he is actual combat. I can only guess how my mother felt when I was away in battle. I pray that your son will make it home safely. I know it isn’t much consolation, but the odds in this war are great that he will be just fine.

    I know just how you feel. I have had two grandsons serve in Iraq. Thankfully mine returned home safely. I hope with all my heart that yours does, too.
