Show me a tissue
Soaked in tears
From a grief stricken Mum
Who realised her fears.
She felt on the day
Her son left with his pack
He was gone forever
and wouldn’t be back.
Intuition had told her
Not to let her son go
But he was living his dream
His face had a glow.
Inside, her heart ached
As only a mother’s can
His dad said ‘Be proud,
He’ll come back a man.
Brave though he was,
And courageous and strong
She soon got the call
That proved her right all along.
Alas, no-one listened.
Now she cannot speak
As she mops up the tears
That fall to her cheek.
