Your way……..

Your way……..


You left as a boy.
Came back as a man.
Proud of serving your country.
A true Army man.

23 years you gave to us all.
Living here and moving there.
Serving here or there.
Wherever duty called.

You did it all.
You did it your way.
Never met a man so stubborn.
Your way or no way.

Got an opinion? If it ain’t yours it ain’t the right one.
You saw the World and held it in yours hands.
Back here in Maine we missed you everyday.
My favorite uncle, I wanted to be just like you.

In the end you came home but not to stay.
Another trip was in store for you.
Off to be with your love, down in Mexico.
The Lord called you one day to his realm.

We miss you but we know you are above.
Looking down and trying to get us to do it your way.
Yes sir, Drill Sergeant!!!
But we still go our own ways.

Thank you for your service to our Country.
We missed you but it was what you wanted.
Thank you Uncle Bill in everyway.
Relax and we will debate again someday!!!
