The OTT

 ***

There is discipline in an OTT you can see it when he walks,
There is honour in an OTT you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in an OTT you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in an OTT that he will not compromise.
There is something in an OTT that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in an OTT that beats from his heart.
An OTT isn’t a title any man can be hired to do,
An OTT is the soul of that man buried deep inside of you.
An OTT’s job isn’t finished after an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
An OTT is always An OTT even while he sleeps.
An OTT serves his country first and his life is left behind,
An OTT has to sacrifice what comes first in a civilian’s mind.
