For my son Wayne, Who is... On his way~

Just kiss my cheek, my darling
And then be on your way
No words from your sweet voice
Do I need to hear you say

Close the door, gently
As you exit on your own
Yet remember that forever
This will always be your home

Sing loud for me, my sweetness
As you stand upon that stage
As millions come to gaze at you
And the music that you play

Be strong and wise my baby
Let no one take you in
And remember: no matter where you are
Its here you’ve got a friend

Be humble for your greatness
And always keep in-hand
The start of you my young man
As here, it all began

When all is put before you
Let the cradle take command
And never loose your tender touch
For heart, makes you a man

No matter how the rose may bloom
There are thorns to prick your hands
Stand straight and tall my lovely
Dark days are at there end

And when the wounds need tending
I‘ll will understand
And be right there beside you
To lend to you my hand

Never will the light go out
The fire never dies
It is what makes mother GLOW
As her heart is filled with pride

Its simple love my angel
From inside of her you came
You can see it, in her smiling face
At the mention of your name

Love You....."The Invisible Fan"

Tori~
We give them all we can -
and then release their hand -
to walk the horizons of their tomorrows
knowing we understand.


They don't ever forget that we love them.
And that love returns time and again.

A wonderful write from a mother's heart.
