You wore a black belt at the age of ten.
A Karate Champ you became, Wade.
Working so hard from about age five.
Belts of orange, green and red were made.

Besides learning how to protect yourself,
Self-control and discipline you learned
You had to keep your grades up in school.
And good points were expected to be earned.

Your family now is so proud of you,
For with hard work you reached your goal.
We praise you for all the time you put in	
And for putting in your heart and soul.

For now you’re fit to be a man in this world
Not a coward or a bully should you be.
You may have wanted to give up sometimes
But with Mom and Dad’s help, you’re now free
