MY SON...

MY SON ..

He was the fairest child of six..
Full of fun, smiles and plenty of grit..
Never shied away from adventure..
Curious, bold, full of wonder..
Each day he took on the world..
Fearless, careless, a real thrill seeker..
Relentless and courageous all
rolled into one..
His strength gave him resilience
to fight his inner being, to be bold ..
I realize now,more everyday, how really
tough he is..
I read all the time about others, like
him, who have fought their battles and lost..
There are those self righteous, indignant
do gooders, yes cowards, who have no clue
who he is ..
You take my breath away my son..
You are not afraid to be honest with who
you truly are..
You have learned to live your life to the
fullest, as you always have,
 even as a small child..
I pray every day for your safety, knowing
there is  so much intolerance toward
you and millions of others who stand
in a place where you have to be strong..
My LOVE for you is immense, my son..
But my pride is greater..

With All My Love,
Mom
