I've read this several times now, and it is impossible to read without tears. The tender maternal thoughts so lovingly expressed for the wanted baby, the tiny child, the rapidly growing son, the man who bravely chooses to serve his country, all flowing so powerfully from your verses, tug at the heart and draw the reader into the center of a mother's special kind of grief. A poem that can evoke such strong emotions in the reader, is an exceptional poem. Beautifully written, my friend.

Thank you for the phenomenal review. I had not yet ever written
a Birthday poem like this before. Strangely, this wrote itself,
not pre- planed or pre-written any way; as if guided, so I just
went with it and it wrote itself. Whatever the reason for it,
I don't know, but it just came out the way it did; as if it was
meant to; and the process was actually more consoling than
grieving; which also may have just meant to be. I don't question
why; it just is one of those rare impetus writings that serve a
greater purpose than ourselves. Thank you for all you kind
sentiments and thoughts, and the extra star; you are so
generous, and I sincerely thank you for all your input and careing. God Bless you dear freind!

Thank you Bob, appreciate the empathetic review. This is the
first time I wrote a Birthday tribute to him...don't know why,
but it all just came out...so I went with it. I know you
understand that kind of loss too. So appreciate your kind
thoughts, and especially your friendship. God Bless!!!!

Comment from sierra scribbler
This is a lovely poem, and of course so terribly bitter sweet. It seems you have a typo at the beginning: "wggy"
Other than that, it is well written. I could only imagine the heart ache if I lost either of my sons.
Thank you for your courage to share.

Good job separating the passage of time by stanzas. Made it easier to read. Also liked how you mention specifics within each time period until the end. Filled with emotion, especially at the end. Good poem.

My heartfelt condolences on the lost of your courageous son. Your poem is a fine tribute to your love. As I watch my son go through kindergarten this year, I can see that time really does go fast. Best of luck with your writing and keep up the good work.
