Happy Mother's Day to all, and a special Mother's Day wish to all our Heroes' Moms:


An Old Wooden Chair

An old wooden chair, out on the porch
Shaded by trees, the sun couldn’t scorch

A child loved to play, not far away
When tired this chair, was where to stay


If weather turned bad, as sometimes it would
The young one would sit, those arms felt good


This haven of rest, always was there
Like a mother in charge, always took care


As the years passed, the chair bore no change
But the small one did grow, adding new range


How quickly through high school, time fled by
And the child from that chair, said good-bye


Off to the service, such great pride did show
Protector of freedom, youthful brave glow


A loved one of course, now guards this chair
Holding fond memories, each one so dear


With prayers to God, dear mother does wait
Till her brave one's home safe, a want so great

That now empty chair, shaded by trees
If it could just talk, starting with "Please..
