Today I miss my Sailor, my tears I try to hide

If only I could hold him, have him at my side

But I'm a Navy mom, and strong I have to be

Weather he be home, ashore, or out to sea

I pray my job was done well, and he knows in his heart

I'm proud that he's my son, and that I'll do my part

Today my mind is filled, with thoughts of all our fleet

So proudly as they serve, and my heart skips a beat

He grows each day I know, into a greater man

I'm entrusting him to God, to fill a greater plan

The Lord he knows us both, and faithfully will keep

My Sailor close to me, until I'm off to sleep

so while I cannot hold him, my Sailor now he serves

I'll keep the watch and duty, and try to calm my nerves

Today I miss my Sailor, and while I am so proud

The silence with him gone, rings in my ears so loud

To hear his voice I'd run, to hold him close I'd fall

I hope again today, I'll get that precious call

Until the Lord sees fit, to bring him home to me

A NavyStrong Momma, is what I'll have to be

Hi kathryn, above you will see "Post your poems here" . Go to that discussion and you will find a beautiful poem called "Stand Tall" by Peggy Nieto. I think that one is just what you are looking for. Please give Peggy credit if you use it. We all will be praying for your son's safe return.
