Her Brave One
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His mother
waves him goodbye
as he walks
down her front garden path
Tall, strong, and young
Her heart swells with love and pride
His mother reads his letter
Holding it to her breast
she prays…
for her tall, strong, and young one
to be brave
to be blessed
His mother wipes away a tear
after her son’s friend
embraces her
and tells her
that her tall, strong, and young one
was brave to the end
His mother waves goodbye
to the friend of her son
she turns
and places another flower
on the grave
of her brave one.

Thank you to everyone who helps and has helped keep this world safer than it would be without brave sons, brave daughters, and praying parents.
