Get the way lxxx



Take this way and find a nice cab waiting
Let the holy ghost bring fortitude to your cause
Let your prayers be for the road not to be famished
Let your guardian angel be with you all the time

You will go and come back to help your people
You will invest your intelligence in productive tools
You will matter to all you meet because of this
It is a medal blessed by God Almighty

Let your heart be sacred and friendly to all
Let your judgement be to the right all the time
Play safe in everything you do from now on
You have a long journey ahead of you.

Give our regards to the President and his aides
Let them know that the nation is more important
Than any individual interests that may pervade
That the future is in the hands of the youth

Who may play blind to faithful ends in the start
And then need redress for a life time in regrets
May the love of God the father and the Son
And the guidance of the Holy spirit be with you forever.
