as you start the life you've chosen
take pride in all you do
now you're on your way, with each passing day
to making all your dreams come true

the first step's always hardest
but soon, you'll come to see
it may be tough, but you're strong enough
to be the man i know you'll be

i'm so proud to be your mother, but
there are no words to let you know
you were once my baby, now you're in the navy
and who knows how far you'll go

so, let life take you where it leads you
but remember where you've been
be strong, be proud, as you reach new ground
and just "let the journey begin"

From one proud Mom to another, I can tell he is still your little boy too    I am going to be a gramma for the second time, and I still seem to forget and tell my son to put slippers on when I am over there - lol.  I wish your son well in the Navy, and this was a wonderful poem to him.  Welcome again to Passions Bonnie.

What a nice poem for your son, one that shows he is a part of your heart. And he no doubt has you snuggled deeply inside his heart and soul.
