Hello lad,

Its going to be a blast

To have you back

Oh so fast.

Ready the troops

For the trumpets sound.

Better start moving those feet

When you hit the ground.

Think back to your training son,

Look straight ahead

And carry your gun.

This isnt a time

For fear now boy.

This isnt a drill,

And thats not a toy.

They'll tare you down,

Belive me they'll try.

Just stare them down,

And let out

A battle cry.

When you reach the end

Your still not done.

It's going to take a lot

To bring this one home.

It's going to get tough

Through it all,

It's going to be rough,

Just stand tall.

Grit your teeth,

Just grin and bear it.

Battle wounds and patchs

Only add merit.

Head down eyes up.

Just push your way through.

Out there son,

It's only you.

Truth is,

Your all alone in this battle.

Guard your cage

Don't let it get rattled.

You have the tools,

The knowledge, the heart.

Now get out there,

And take your part.
