A Message in the *Twinkle*

 

A Message in the *Twinkle*


Child of mine
Out of the reach of this mama's hugs.

Look up to the stars at night.

I've beamed a message of

love there.


On the nights when the stars
are hidden behind clouds
I'm still reminded of you.

You are hidden from my view,

yet I trust in the beating of your heart.

We shared heartbeats for nine months

and became forever bonded.

The twinkle of the stars

are a comfort to me from
God above.

Child, see the stars and feel my hugs.


Love Always,

Mama

My son Vincent entered the USAF on October 17, 2002. 
When I wrote this poem, he was in Tech School.
Later on in 2003, he volunteered for a mission in Iraq. 
He arrived on Thanksgiving of 2003.   My own words
were a HUGE comfort to me during his deployment.
