Warriors on the Field
For My Son, Johnny
You fought your battles up to now
From the top of the baseball mound
Baseball takes patience and skill
You will now be a warrior from a new field
From the top of the mound
You blew them away
Struck them out
They glanced your way
On the way back to the dugout
For many seasons
We became your fan
Now on your way
Perhaps to some foreign land
We are still your fans
As your life unfolds with a new plan
We hold you in high esteem
As you become one of the few and the proud...
A United Stated Marine!
(Dedicated to my son, Johnny W. Hunt III)

very touching. My boy loved baseball and football,his father and i have put in many miles and hours being his greatest fans. He is off to college in a week and i am so proud and so sad :)~):
Oorah.
This brought a tear to my eyes. I have two boys who LOVE baseball. I'm sure it doesn't seem that long ago that you were carting your son back and forth to practice and games.
:) :) Nice
My son played baseball too - he has mild CP. but was a left handed pitcher.
Amazing! I think this should be on a poster or a plaque. Great work, Janet!!
God bless you and mothers everywhere my friend. What true inspiration you are. Your son must be so proud of you. And God bless our miliatary and protect them with your angels given charge to them.
I pray that he will be safe.
My son spent six years in the Corps and traveled the world. They were wonderful years. God bless your son as he serves.
