Letter to a Son at War

Where are you my son?
From our home you have gone,
from our house, from our hearth---
I stand here alone.

I am at lost here without you
I know you're not near
I seek but can't find you
my eyes blurred by tears.

Long night lies before me
in darkness I sigh
search for the sight of your face
and the light in your eyes.

If you were here beside me
or I could be where you are
if I could see you and touch you
but you are at war!

Then my heart would be happy
my tears would cease to flow---
I would walk proud beside you...
Just thought you should know.

This would make a great letter to send to your son, if you haven't already done so. Your longing to see him, be with him, are beautifully expressed.
