Ancestors at your side every single day. <br />Loved always, don't forget these words I say. <br />Wise young boy, with eyes of green. <br />Aim for the right and don't be mean. <br />You are my love yesterday, today, and tomorrow. <br />Stand straight my son, cause no one sorrow. <br /> <br />Beware of cute gals, short skirts, and winking eyes. <br />Each day brings challenges, I tell you no lies. <br /> <br />Be brave my son, sweet child of mine. <br />Run fast if needed and walk a straight line. <br />Align with the truth when questions arise. <br />Visit distant places with wide open eyes. <br />Every place and thing has it's place and time. <br /> <br />Say a prayer, respect others, and read between lines. <br />We'll go to the beach and you'll board NorCal snow. <br />'Easy Does It', said grandma, she loved you so. <br />Watch the moon and wish on a falling stars. <br />Tattooed like grandpa, but don't hit the bars. <br /> <br />Capture good memories, forgive and forget. <br />Hold open doors, remember names of those you've met. <br />I'm at your side always, you're never alone. <br />Look toward the Pacific when you're looking for home. <br />Don't drunk drive, or text drive, face fear in the face. <br /> <br />One drink, two drinks? Watch your pace. <br />Fast cars? Now please be careful with your ride. <br /> <br />Military is a balance, take it in stride. <br />I'll love you always, each and everyday. <br />Never regret the words you say. <br />Eager family awaits, come back safe to The Bay.<br /><br />Sandra Regan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-brave-my-son/
