Fragments: ~Wishes on Wings~

An older one.

My son returned safely from two deployments! 🙂


~Wishes On Wings~

I cry,

From love and fear,

At this moment,

I would give anything,

….anything,

To have you near.


Now you fly,

Across those far off seas,

That take you even farther,

….away from me.


I remember the sweetness of your baby face,

I sang softly,

And held you dear.

Long ago moments,

That are still very clear.

Nothing in this world,

Could ever take your place…

This moment it’s the thought of war,

I must erase.


In your darkest moments,

Know….

My heart beats with love for you so,

No matter what you say or do.

That much in this life,

You can count on….

….as true.


I love you,

With all of my heart,

This distance,

Just tears me apart.

I evoke the wings of time,

To again bring you home safely,

To this heart of mine.


Safe journeys, my love.
