Note #3/ Mother ... upon being/...Marine Moms

perhaps if we hold on so tight
to each our smile
and laughter we laugh too loud
perhaps if we hug one more doubt
with arms that wrap round
old photographs and toads and baseball bats
we will stand unabashed
brazen
against the tide relinquished
form our own ebb and flow

perhaps if we kiss
each our cheek
we kiss the cheek of our sons marching

Nice thoughts...the closeness of friendship and family can be read through the expression of not only friends but of the sons who live within each and every smile, hug and laugther combined and or felt upon the cheek... nice work... Art sun...
