"Today I Held My Son," .....from the Empty Nest!

Today I Held My Son"

As I held your Football uniform near my heart,

I couldn't put it down, I felt the love so close-

My Son, I held you.

So long since we hugged or even talked,

Yet there you were, in my heart,

Like when you were little and we snuggled.

My Son I held you.

A love so true, so deep, so genuine family-

Your spirit is in that suit, #20!

Pads and pants and straps and shirts,

All you, near my heart.

I could feel your thoughts and yearnings.

My Son I held you.

You seem so far from me in life-

But this day your close #20,

In my heart.

Today I held my Son

Love, Mom xxoo
