Look Ahead!
Your zest of life has always been such a big part of you.
In playing sports, things in school, in everything you do.
You've always tried hard and made the good things last.
From the most boring job through the most difficult task.
Lately, I’m concerned with you quitting things vital to you.
If it’s because your zest of life is gone, my concerns may be true .
Jim, not everything in life is easy or goes the right way,
Circumstances are often hard when plans go array.
In the past two years, you've had a few unfortunate breaks,
Ones so unnerving, they'd make a SAINT shake.
But you're one of the hardiest people I know.
So use that strength and experience to heal and to grow.
People have said that nothing can keep a good man down.
I know you can handle it, 'cause you’re the best man around.
Don't look back on those dreadful things, and face those fears.
Look ahead, to where your visions are and happiness will soon appear.
You’re loved by those who know you and admired by many peers.
You've been quite a steady leader, for many numerous years.
Now lead yourself out from this awful darkened place,
And let's see those eyes brighten in that handsome face.
Written for my son Jim
With Love,
Mom

All the mothers should write a poem to her child, to let know not only with spoken words abour her love.
