Dear MomDear Mom: Although I’m faraway,You’re in my thoughts this very day;I see the smile upon your face. The one that brightens every place.And Mom, although I’m not so much,Your teachings always have been suchThat I am sure I’ll be OJK.So don’t you fret ’bout what folks say.When things are tough, it’s good to knowYour prayers can follow where Igo.And though I’ve never told before It’s you, dear Mom, that I adore.My only wish in life todayWill come true when I hear yousay,‘I’m proud of you as I can be.” Yes that is praise enough for me.Pvt. James C. Hayes.
