A mother's worst fear
The young mother weeps as she softly embraced her new baby boy.
As he grows she taught him to crawl and next to walk, she taught him to talk and to be a big boy.
She taught him respect and manners and right from wrong.
Her battle began as he grew a little older she had no choice but to raise him alone.
Feeling as if she wasn't enough she found herself instead of discipline she protects him at no cost and carried his blame.
Which led him to believe he had no consequences to face for any of his actions.
She now blames herself for the choices that he made she begged him not to drink and drive.
Her warning fell short of reaching him only this time saving him was no option.
He lost his best friend after a party on their journey home.
The boys parted ways that night without ever saying goodbye for one went to heaven her son was sentenced to prison and taken away. As his consequences are much deeper than his sentence, life without ever losing the memory of that horrible night is a sentence no judge can beat.
For now she weeps for the day that she will feel again her son's soft embrace.
