A Marine
YOU WENT THROUGH BOOTCAMP AND I KNOW IT WAS HARD.
I TRIED TO HELP BY SENDING LETTERS AND CARDS.
BUT WHAT YOU DID YOUVE DONE ON YOUR OWN
YOU ARE A MAN NOW
NOT THE SAME BOY WHO LEFT HOME
YOU COMPLETED EVERY TASK THEY GAVE YOU
LOTS OF MUD AND WATER IN YOUR BOOTS YOU RAN THREW
NOW AS GRADUATION GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER
BE PROUD OF YOURSELF BECAUSE YOUR SUPPOSE TO
YOU FOUGHT FOR WHAT YOU WANTED
AND YOU LET NO ONE STAND IN YOUR WAY
BUT JUST LOOK WHAT YOUVE EARNED
YOU BECAME A "MARINE" TODAY
