Dad Mike said – We all loved it even the soldier gets teary eyed when he reads it!

 

You Passed Out

You Passed Out

This time not drunk as a skunk

You Passed Out

 

The Ceremony was grand

My son at this parade you became my heir

I became part of the elite

 

You Passed Out

 

The bugle gave me shivers

Your mum did not cry

Her shoulders showed her pride

 

This time not drunk as a skunk

 

The uniforms were immaculate

Soldiers marching as one army

Among them you son

 

You passed Out

 

The rifles there movements swift

We watched in awe

Our protectors with Arms

 

This time not drunk as a skunk

 

The salute broke the dam

Your mum and I cried

You are a man now not a boy

 

You Passed Out

 

Soldiers

Men not boys

Women not girls

 

This time not drunk as a skunk

 

I want to Shout

I want everyone to know

For country and queen

 

You Passed Out

 

And you said

I did it for you and mum, thanks dad

You shook my hand

Man to Man
