I don't know how I missed this one but I am glad I found it now. A touching tribute to your son Jason who you learned to love from his earliest days. The picture in my mind of you rocking him to sleep and singing to him nightly as you battled with his asthma. As he grew to be a man you were proud of his work ethic and your devotion to your son hasn't changed in all of these years!
I love this poem and I hope you win the contest!
Thanks for giving us hope for people who battle asthma.
Jesse

    Oh Jesse, you can be so very sweet. And I thank you so very much for such kind words about my poem for my son. Yes asthma can be a very scary ordeal and I hope that you have yours under control now. Jason is 45 and still suffers, but has medication that he takes, but as a baby and child, he would get his worst attacks when we laid him down so I rocked him every night for years and that is how we both slept. May ER visits and I remember once on our way, he said, mommy am I going to die, and he was turning so blue, I really wasn't sure. But that is part of being a good mom, and if I have done anything right in my lifetime, that was it....... So I thank you again my dear friend for your kindness, as I appreciate it very much! Take care!

Hello Debi,
What a wonderful tribute poem for your son
beautifully written with excellent rhymes.
Sometimes those early battles in life make a person stronger
and more aware of what is important, like hard work,
sharing and being there for others.
One can see that great family smile is passed on through the generations. :)
Nicely done.
Best wishes to all.
Robert

I loved the photo which enhanced your ode to Jason. With a loving heart and tears in your eyes, your pride shone through loving words for your beloved son. There was another carpenter who was loved so much, Jesus.
Well written my friend. K xx

a heart felt poem about the love of a mother for her son. I hope you shared it with him and I hope he knows what is in your heart. Sometimes it is hard to express love.

    Thanks so much Jake! I have a hard time with people who don't express how they feel to their loved ones, because we can't assume that they always know. My husband said that he doesn't remember his mother ever telling him that she loved him. So through my love he learned to tell our kids, grandkids and we for sure always say it before we ever go to sleep. And have been for 48 years together. Thanks my dear friend for your very kind review and comments!

This is an excellent poem that is a tribute to your son! I know you are proud, and it should be a good contest entry, best wishes in the contest. He is a good-looking kid who has his mom's smile. Good work. Terry.

Debi, this is, as the kids would say, "AWESOME" It brought tears to my old . eyes. It reminds me of a poem that I posted some time ago, called "My son." Maybe you can find and read it. It warms my heart to hear a parent
display so much love for their children. If all parents felt the way you do, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in today. It was more than a pleasure to read this poem. Thanks for posting. Willie

    Oh Willie, thank you so much for this review that puts tears in my eyes. And before I respond to anyone else, I must go onto your page and find your poem to read. I agree that what and how we teach our children will make a big difference in how they turn out and I am actually three for three on that scale. After my God and Savior, there is no greater love than family and as they used to say, "they live what they learn." Thank you again my awesome friend for the lovely review and kind words, and most definitely your very gracious six stars. You will be hearing from me soon as I cannot wait to read yours as well.

This is a lovely commemorative poem of appreciation to your son. I especially enjoyed the second stanza for the way it portrayed the precious and close moments with an small baby. Good work and thanks for sharing.

Now you see. It is not fair, you write with such sensitivity and caring. The use of the handwriting font was especially effective. You should not be surprised at your son's qualities, after all he came from you and your wonderful husband. He had no choice, he had to be outstanding. Your pride and your love for your entire family fairly leap off the page, some of it even got on me and I dared not wipe it off, neither do I wish to. :))

    And Wow, you just never disappoint me with your loving and caring comments my dear one. I love every heartfelt word in this review and of course will go into my Nomi folder. This is the most wonderful review I have ever received and means more to me because it is about my only son that I love so much. Your gracious six stars are so appreciated and are the topping on the cake. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my beloved friend and brother!

    It was easy. some reviews are difficult because I have to struggle to supportive and kind. Reviewing your work is easier than reviewing my own.

This is a wonderful tribute to your son Jason. He is lucky to have a mom as great as you Debbie. And you are a lucky mom to have a great child as he.
The both of you have huge hearts of gold. I enjoyed reading your message to him. I hope things are going great for you. The picture is very nice. Get well soon.
