A Power Within

My Boys – Written July 2006

They came to wait,
to listen and to care.
They left their work,
their routines, their lattes,
and their lives,
but still they came.

Just one call,
a Mother’s need,
brought my boys, fast to me.
Nothing seemed as strong that day,
as those two boys,
who came my way.

I leaned towards them,
and broke my heart.
They stood tall and strong,
to share a Mother’s grief.
And they came.

They took the calls,
they took my arm,
they drove the cars,
they helped my heart.
They are my boys,
and they came….

    I’ll always remember that day, there was no hesitation, no buts, no ifs…a phone call and Matt was gone. And like Jo says they will always be there.
