A Person of Substance

A Person of Substance

Standing tall and proud,
Just off the starboard bow.

The future you,

A commander,

A leader of people,

A member of the RAN.

You see not,

What others see.

Your greatness,

It does show.

Even at the tender age,

Of good ol’ 17.

A quiet sense of leadership,

Oh honour, integrity,

And loyalty.

Let’s not forget your honesty,

Or your courageous spirit.

All that and more,

Makes you a person of substance.

A person all are proud to know.

Dedicated to my mate Alicia who has stuck around in the tough times. 

I wrote that for her birthday.
