Stand Tall

"Stand tall Sonny Jim
Head high and please
Hold that stomach in.
Try not to roll the eyes
After I've walked by you
I'm not the Devil in disguise!
In case you're wondering about Mum,
Whilst in the barracks, I am her
And you, play the role as my son.
I meant the sun boy" he boomed.
"Not what you are thinking
Otherwise I am doomed.
He boomed
He stood tall once, he knew
Now he knows .

Great Cheryl with amazing imagery. I can just picture of scene in the barracks that day and that sargeant major shouting his orders. Lovely poem.... Pat
