Topic: A Mothers War | |
---|---|
War is every mothers trepidation.
The sleepless nights of her childs participation. Going from ecstacy from a letter that found home, to her nervous heart pounding as she reflects alone. A nervous reflection of what could be, a flag draped coffin, and a letter from the presidency. Don't add to her anguish from what is perceived to be a lie shes got enough on her plate as she lies awake and cries Not a complaint just a heart felt thought ![]() W.A.M 4/25/09 |

Makes the best of the time waiting near the phone. She sends him some cookies like he always loved, Believing he's safe knowing it's not enough. Once in awhile, when no one knows, she allows some tears as his letters flow. Her plate is always and never as before, She'd welcome the moment he walks through her door. Raine Les 4/16/2009 |
