Good morning. Yesterday we launched another baby into the big, bad world. Our youngest son moved out of the house, and he starts his first “real” job on Monday, since graduating from college. Our youngest son has epilepsy, and he has experienced a lot of ups and downs throughout his young life, until we figured out a combination of medications that work to keep him seizure free. Readers, please let’s agree to keep all of our beautiful children in our shared nightly good thoughts and prayers. That thought gives me a great deal of comfort. Our children and grandchildren are the future. Sundays are devoted to poetry on the blog. Here is my poem for today:
Moon’s in Sagittarius
Last night was our shared full moon,
my blue-eyed baby with your angel kiss.
It filled the dark skies with thrill for June,
And hopefully many more months of bliss.
You are ready. Launch your arrows into the sky.
I can’t wait to see where they may land.
Don’t be afraid to fail. Just try. Just fly.
And when you feel unsure, know my heart’s in your hand.
You are raised. You are a man. You’re up to the task.
You’ve overcome so much in your young life already.
So, in the light of these triumphs, remember to bask.
Stay focused, stay true, stay strong, and stay steady.
When you look at the night sky and peer at the moon,
Remember that we both gaze at the same one,
Take it day by day, while humming to your own tune,
I love you and I’m proud of you, my dear blue-eyed son.
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
Kelly, I am so happy for you and for your son. I vividly remember the time when he was struggling and had to come home from college to be safe in the family womb. I think I speak for your loyal readers when I say that we whispered a lot of prayers, hoping for the very best outcome. Those were scary times, especially for a mother’s heart. But together you persevered, and the victory is sweet. Rest easy, my dear, you have done well.
I felt the prayers, Kelly and for that, and for you and my other loyal readers, I’ll be forever grateful. <3
What a beautiful expression of a Mother’s love!
Thank you, Debbie! <3
