Live Well My Son From birth, you’ve been strong by my side My child, and now my friend. We grew up together, both you and I But all things will find their own end. For so long, your hand was held by mine, But those days have passed, my work is done. So to you I say go find your success, To you I say; live well, my son. I teach you no more, for it’s not my place Now you live by lessons hard won. So travel on to your life’s station, And remember; live well, my son. There lies in my heart a sacred place Where memories like a strong river run. Where the waters are echoes of a proud mother’s words, I love you, live well my son. Dedicated to my first son, David. Dream first, then bring it to life. [This message has been edited by seraphin (09-27-2006 10:58 PM).] |

"There lies in my heart a sacred place Where memories like a strong river run. Where the waters are echoes of a proud mother’s words, I love you, live well my son." Such a tender beautiful write. Something we all wish for our children. Heart hugs, Nancy ~Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile~ |

Thank you Lady. He is a remarkable young man, and a credit to himself. I merely pointed the path, he made the choices that carried him down the road. |

Enchantress, thank you for your words. I've seen two children take wing, and have two left at home. I keep trying! |

It is difficult for we Moms when our little 'birdies' leave the nest, but if we have given them wings by teaching them well, then they will not only fly, they will soar!  I believe, that your son will do just that! May he manifest all his dreams into reality! A beautiful piece of writing from your loving heart.  Loving Light, EA  |
