May 2016
All kinds of military ship anchors have been pulled up
Naval ships slowly pulling away from New York Shores
Many New Yorkers in celebration of Memorial Day were able to board various naval ships and explore
An adventure for sure
But reality has become a mission
Conflict undone
Battles are still among
Ship engines push on
Be victorious will be long
All Soldiers say goodbye mate
Thank you for your support in being our date
We must depart to give freedom and maintain honor
The Flag hangs forward in giving us courage to push on
Thanks for all the salutes
As our naval vessel moves swiftly through the waves
Our direction is destiny and dignity
A war can come at any given moment
There will be destruction and lives loss
But together as troops, we make a force
No boundaries will ever separate
But ammunition in how they will relate
We are slowly drifting into open seas
New York City being a distance back
We will be ready at any given moment to attack
To the enemy, what do you think of that?
The seas leading us in the direction into troubled waters
The mission be prepared
As our naval ship bids farewell
We leave you with a quote to tell
β€œThe naval uniform to all we protect, and our stance in how we project”.
