The
house is quite rather gloomy today.
A bag, a
coat lying in the empty doorway.
Unfinished
breakfast on a cluttered table
Unusual
silence by the usual noisy people.
Red and
swollen eyes are in vogue I see
Hugging
and kissing are gaining popularity
Last
minute instructions and assurances
Like a
broken record replaying old stanzas.
Off to
boot camp the home-kid is marching
The
heart torn between staying and leaving.
Off the
nest for the long and lonely flight
Keeping
strong with goal focused in sight.
Sturdy
steps towards the call of duty
The
rigors of training beckon tauntingly
Determination,
grit and fortitude
There’s
no doubt about his attitude.
The navy
has got a brand new soldier
Lean and
strong no one more merrier
God
and love-ones always in the heart
Jong,
always stay safe, happy and smart.
