A Poem for Gold Star Mothers
Mom, I had a fall today. I bruised my knee
I was running home from school with my first report card
I was so proud and wanted you to see my first Gold Star
You came running so fast and blew that magic air on my bleeding knee
How could such a simple act make that knee feel so much better
Mom, I had a fall today. I bumped my head
It was my first day without the training wheels
You and Dad were clapping so hard that I turned to see you
The tree did not move out of my way and my head hit the branch
It was the first time I heard you say, Let me kiss it and make it feel better, and it did
Mom, are all Moms magic like you
Mom, I had a fall today but this one hurt my heart
I thought my first love would last forever
When she left I thought the world would end
This time it was I who was running to you, and you were there
You gave me the magic Mom hug and a lesson in life that we must walk through each valley
To be able to climb the next mountain
Mom, I had a fall today, this was a bad one
You were so far away, I could not run to you, or you to me
In those last few moments I could feel your breath
I felt your lips touch my forehead
When I felt your arms I closed my eyes the pain was gone
The Gold Start you carry now has me inside
I go with you wherever you go and my love will live in your soul
Till our two souls are together again

The last Sunday of September is observed in the United States as Gold Star Mother’s Day, a day to honor mothers who lost a son or daughter serving in the United States Military.
American Gold Star Mothers Inc., founded in the United States not long after World War I, provides support for mothers who lost sons or daughters in the war. The name comes from the custom of hanging a banner – or service flag – in the window of the home of a person serving in the Armed Forces of the United States during war time. On the Service Flag, one star for each family member serving is displayed – blue stars representing living servicemen and gold stars for those who had lost their lives while serving. Membership in the Gold Star Mothers is open to any American woman who has lost a son or daughter in service to the United States. For more information, check out the American Gold Star Mothers website.
