Basic Training

For my Bri, as she enters this next chapter in her life - a chapter in the US Coast Guard!
We're so very proud!!


~Basic Training~

Saying goodbye
Childhood past
Nineteen years
Happens fast

Basic Training
Digging deep
No complaining
Climbing steep

Search your soul,
Determination
Figure out
Acquire foundation

Push yourself
Find the limit
Go beyond
Heart is in it

Brand new start
Make it yours
Take some chances
Open doors

Go.

in strength.
in love.
in anticipation.
in courage.
in faith.

Find yourself…
Train yourself…
Create yourself…
Become yourself.

Be yourself.

And remember who you are… and whose you are.
Always.
