~ U.S.S LITTLE ~
DD803
REUNION
WE REMEMBER OUR SHIP AND HER CREW,
THE SEAS WE SAILED, THE PORTS, TOO.
WE REMEMBER THE BATTLES WE FOUGHT
THAT SECURED THE VICTORY WE SOUGHT.
ALL THESE WE RECALL, BUT TO BE FRANK,
IT PUTS A LOAD ON OUR MEMORY BANK
TO REMEMBER EACH AND EVERY DATE
AND KEEP THE FACTS ALL STRAIGHT.
NONETHELESS, WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER,
LET NO ONE QUESTION WHETHER
OUR MEMORIES HAVE SERVED US WELL,
FOR WE ALL HAVE STORIES TO TELL.
AND WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE,
KEEP IN MIND, EACH AND EVERYONE,
SOME MAY NOT REMEMBER SAME AS YOU.
IT MAY JUST BE YOUR POINT OF VIEW.
BUT WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO SPEAK,
DON'T BE TIMID...SHY...OR MEEK.
EVERY SAILOR SHOULD HAVE HIS SAY,
RELIVING THOSE DAYS OF YESTERDAY.
AND IF YOUR STORY GETS AMENDED,
DON'T GET MIFFED OR BE OFFENDED.
JUST REMIND THEM WHEN THEY DO IT--
"IT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKIN' TO IT!"
