Success in My Vocations (Poem by Gary Bingham)

 

Dreams in my youth

Playing with boys on

The play ground

Leading a squad of

Boys to play attack

Other groups of boys in mock battles

Watching movies of

Army officers at parties

Drinking, smoking, dancing and

Socializing with pretty women

Dreams of being an Army Officer

 

Striving for success and advancement

Goals of survival

Out last that other SOB

Be ethical in decision making

Demand that others do the same

Stay focused on the job

Excel at unit/team performance

Take small steps at a time

Work towards family stability

Be persistent, patient and determined

Being consistent in delivering expectations

Know when to stop

Being fearless

When others are shooting, seek cover

Complete academics

Study constantly

Have life goals and achieve them.
