Bon Voyage Seniors
No doubt you're glad it's over
And itching to be set free,
The urge to be where it's happening
That's how it goes with me.Up at dawn with a great big yawn
Each lonely day of the year.
The call to be here, the call to be there
Like a buzzing sound in the ear.Now the days of confusion are ending
The challenges of life will unfold,
Who will make it? Who will not?
Don't think we've ever been told.Forget to sleep at attention
Let your hair grow down to your knees,
Do what you want if it seems your bag
Try not to forget the word "Please,"I can only wish the best for you
Not much more I can say,
Except I'll miss you knuckleheads
After this final day in May.Good Luck,
LTC ERIC C. ROSS
