WE CAME TO YOU, RAW RECRUITES,
FROM LOCATIONS FAR AND NEAR,
EAGER, ANXIOUS, AND CLUELESS
YOUR WORDS RANG IN OUR EAR,
YOU SAID,”WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE”,
IF WE, WOULD COMMIT TO SUCCEED,
LISTEN, PRACTICE, AND STUDY,
YOU, OVER-SAW EACH ACTION AND DEED.
SOME DAYS WERE HARDER THAN OTHERS,
FILLING US WITH GRIEF AND WOE,
BUT WE WERE DETERMINED, TO DO THE WORK,
REFUSING TO STOP OR LET IT GO.
YOU, PROVIDED INSTRUCTORS,
ALL ONE OF A KIND,
TO TEACH AND PREPARE US,
CHALLENGING OUR BODIES AND OUR MIND.
WE LEARNED THE MEANING OF “TEAMWORK”,
BONDING ALONG THE WAY,
MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES,
MOTIVATING EACH OTHER, EVERY DAY.
YOU LEAD BY EXAMPLE,
SETTING THE STANDARD HIGH,
YOUR ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM,
CONTINUES TO LINGER, IN OUR EYE.
TODAY WE ARE PROUD TO GRADUATE,
WEARING OUR GRAY AND BLUE,
YOU, PROVIDED THE FOUNDATION WE NEEDED,
FOR THE CAREERS, WE NOW PURSUE.

PS
TO SAY, THANK-YOU, IS NOT ENOUGH,
OUR BEST IS WHAT WE WILL DO,
AND TELL ALL, WHO MIGHT ASK,
THAT WE WERE TRAINED, UNDER YOU…
