Jamee Jacobson and her son

A peom written for my son, after his graduation from Parris Island...

Now that you are a Marine, taller you appear to stand,

With the stature of a proud and confident man.

You get your strength from a brotherhood deep

Warriors past and present, Honor and Integrity to keep.

To do what is right, no matter what- for all

With the Courage to be ready to answer the call.

For a title was earned, A Marine for life you remain,

Loyal, faithful, keeping true to Commitment, no shame.

The legacy of the Corp you are now forever a part.

You will live the values instilled deep in your heart.

Semper Fidelis
