Nervous,
Form square,
Step up to white tile,
Listen to Commander
Wait for Commander to get
Into his spot,
Step with left foot,
Whoops!
Stepped with right.
Have to fix footing.
One slow substantial step.
Reach bottom of,
The paper white steps,
Stop and watch.
Wreath laid,
Hand over heart.
Listen to “Taps.”
Turn around,
Wait for Commander to get,
Into his spot.
Step with left,
Relief,
Stepped with left.
Walk up white steps,
Done.
