My One More Step Mentality
In the Army I experienced learned
a lot
Life lessons that stays
and
still use
a life time of life events
crammed
in a three year stint
life lessons I shall never
forget
First week of Basic Trainig
preparing us for war
Doing five mile forced march
back pack 14lb M14
doing 3 mile forced run
back pack
14 lb M14
I adopted this slogan
saying
one more step
Each time a foot hit
the ground the mind
says one more step
you wanna stop you wanna
quit but I learned one
more step
this is how you do it
So it is with life no
give up in me
not part of my DNA
I can deal with reality
Gonna keep one more
step going
until the last breath
of my mission my
journey
is complete
