My son, my man, my Marine. Seeing you now, oh how you shine.

From your very beginning. Our love is, never-ending!

You found this to be your call. Go my son and stand tall.

To serve and protect, and carry with you always, my respect.

This is not an easy thing to do. Knowing well I could lose you.

You asked me for my permission. You felt this was your mission.

With tears, I granted you your wish. Holding back my real fears.

But knowing this was your way. I knew what I had to say.

I love you son, go do your part. Keep me always in your heart.

I pray each day for GOD to keep you safe with-in his light.

Behind you I will always stand. Each new morning and every night

Be safe and brave my Marine. Walk quiet, and be bad-ass mean.

You left your nest to be one of the fighting best.

My soldier, my UNITED STATES MARINE. True to the corp

Honor and Country, but you better bring-your-ass back home to me

OO-RAH!!! SEMPER FI!!!
