That Soldier Was My Littie Boy

When he was born I said, "Where are you going son?"

 "Down to the nursery to teach the guys a thing or two, and check out the girls."

Mom used to answere for you, when you were very young.

  When you were walking the same old thing,

"Where are you going son, checking things out?"

 

 

When you went to school, you said "I have to check things out."

  Every year it was the same , you had check things out.

One thing you always told, how things were and I was happy to know.

Where You going, and checking thing things out

Well son when you left you said, "Now

  Dad I am only going to check things out."

Son I always trusted you and even to this day.

  And that is how I am going to leave it, your just checking things out.

"I know you are in heaven, I still love you son."

"I am very proud of you Son."......

  "I would have loved for you to tell me before you left."

 

"I don't have to guess I know you are just checking things out."

"I miss you, and I trust you are doing fine."

"You see Dad misses the man that was his little boy."

"You were always going here and there."

"But I know you, you are only checking things out."

    This is a very touching poem. Did this "son" die on 9-11? You wrote well. Thanks for joining this contest and for helping to honor those who fell on 9-11
