Final Check Last Thoughts

The Men are scared Sir

But a word from you would allay 
there fears  

They wonder if she can make the trip ?

Will she bring us all home safely ?

Can she withstand this perilous 
mission into whence we journey ?

We believe and place our faith in you we stand 100% behind you to a Man

So unto Gods great sky and hands this
tarmac runway and Aeroplane thrust 

Fate is causing butterfly turbulence
in hollow stomachs humming to the
backfire of Rolls Royce engines 

Twitching , Scratching , Jumping
Blood and Heart Thumping

Right Lads

Any last thoughts

Final Checks complete

Let's get this over and done with 

And make it home as quick as possible and in 1 piece

Otherwise see you on the other side

It's been 1 hell if a ride 

It's been a privilege and honor Boys
