I gaze into the vast unknown
Wondering what it be holds
So many different paths
Which one do I take?

Unsure of what to do
I search for some type of clue

Without such luck
I find somewhere, deep within
I had the answer all along
It was as clear as night and day
I will figure out the rest along the way

As it goes on, it is not noticed
Things that were seen
People that were met
Mysteries uncovered

The seasons change
And the days go on
How it flew by

As it goes on, it is not noticed
That I have lived a lifetime

So much love to give
A soul that wants to live
Stare into her eyes
You will be mesmerized

Her mind is full of wonder
With so much to ponder
Wants to explore the world
To the places unheard

Memories to be had
And when she meets a lad
She gives him all her love
In a way undreamed of

Her heart is a deep ocean
With harmonic motion
Truly a mystery
Her love will go down in history

You gaze into her eyes
Not knowing what you'll find

Fiery passion
Love everlasting
Wonders of the universe
Sadness for the world
Pain for the poor
Anger for the rich

You gaze into her eyes
Not knowing what you'll find

To join something that unites
A brother and sisterhood
Together for eight grueling weeks
Learning to work together
To fight side by side
Gain the experience
That can save each others life

At first we felt and seemed hopeless
Homesick and lost
Feeling all alone
Days went on
Days turned into weeks
Finally like a light switch
Everything started to make sense

We came together as a division
We came together as a ship
We came together at the command

We can begin to understand
The meaning behind being a United States Sailor
Ready to go to war
Ready to make peace
Ready to save lives

What our forefathers taught us
Fought and died for
We are proud to serve
This great nation
The United States of America

She has such fire in her eyes
Knows what needs to be done
It will be conquered
Day by day she progresses
Honor, strength and courage
These are her core values
A passionate fighter
Empathetic human being
Lives each day like it's her last

She questions the world
Hoping to uncover mysteries
