Coming into his own


He's coming into his own now, just a couple of years on this earth and already someone with a purpose.How well I remember him as a baby boy who sat with me for precious seconds at a time before he hurried away to pursue another thing of interest. I knew all those years ago he would grow to be an exceptional man.
He is coming into his own now that young man all grown up at eighteen years old. He wanted to serve his country and explore frontiers un charted knowing he could make a difference. He would write to me often during those years, telling me about his adventures and remembering the stories I use to tell him of my own.
He's found his purpose in life as I proudly watch from a galaxy far, far away. I've been told he will have a place with me and others he said good-by to but not for years to come. His purpose in life was something he knew at a very young age, and he still had work to do.
It wasn’t until I entered the gates of eternity did I realize that I could talk to him. It's not for me to tell you how,but know that those voices you hear in your head are as real as life itself.I speak to him when troubles or pain enter his life telling him to believe in himself and to keep his faith strong. I know he hears me as a smile appears on his sleeping face.
Many decades have passed as my special young man struggles to breathe his final breaths.It won't be long now until he joins us in a place where all of his pain will vanish, and he will be at eternal peace. As his soul leaves his body the transition will take less than a second and his real purpose will be explained.
He stands beside me now that beautiful soul that always had a purpose. His smile is bigger than ever especially when he discovered his wings.He doesn’t stay beside me for very long as he hurries from one place to another, whispering  in the heads of those he left behind, assuring them their seat beside him someday.
My father and mother, grandparents, and generations before them all stand together waiting for more to join us, knowing that my special little man will one day serve God in ways only his adventurous mind could have foreseen.
