The Legend Left Behind

Watch him as he walks by you,
The man you want to be.
With uniform both blue and gold,
And a cover like Ivory.
Listen to the steps he takes,
The legend left behind.
Once you see what he can do,
It's bound to blow your mind.
He comes from Parris Island,
A place close but far away.
The weather changes all the time,
But the sun never gives way.
Should you face him on the battlefield,
Your heart will sink with dread..
For you have seen the stuff of nightmares,
A beast with eyes blood red.
He is the Epitome of honor,
The outstanding strength of heart,
What it means to be courageous,
And willpower mastered to an Art.
So don't take this man for granted,
This protector of the right,
Because his rifle is the reason
Your mom can tuck you in at night.
