A USNA Mother's Prayer
(Reprinted from The Log)
To be a Good Naval Academy Mother:
is to know FEAR - there is so much mystery at USNA
is to know PRIDE - that one so young will aspire to such noble calling
is to know UNCERTAINTY - why hasn't he called?
is to know GRATITUDE - that a sponsor will take him in and treat him so well
is to know JOY - he likes it and is doing so well
is to know DESPAIR - he's on restriction
is to know FRIENDSHIP - others who share your feelings and see you through
is to know FAITH - there is someone other than you working in your child's life
is to know AGONY - his friend was separated
is to know a THRILL - catching a glimpse of him in a parade or march on
is to know PERSEVERANCE - the Dark Ages forever; send another care package
is to know SUPPORT - their Sponsor whom you have never met, writes regularly
is to know ANGER - why does he have watch on the day you can visit?
is to know to keep PATRIOTISM - spend an hour in Memorial Hall and read allthe names marked.
