Of storm or strife
Could’ equal more
A
loving chore
Then of a sailors wife.
Through thick and thin of seas tossed,
A
loyal beacon never lost.
Guarding shores while wars are fought
And
teaching kids what ‘should be taught.
The
seas roll on through endless days
And
into months but still she stays
On
watch at home through lonely nights,
A
stranger to her loves delights.
When lesser souls would cut and run,
Her duties clear have just begun.
A
braver heart there’s never been
And
never still will be again.
If
some time the sea should tell
Her
sailors gone, a warrior fell,
Her
tears might drop onto that beach
For
the love beyond her reach.
Spirits who have grown so close
On
oceans bound by tidal coasts
Can
never part for long my dear,
For
this sweet girl will always hear
Her
husband’s call on ocean’s breeze
And
see his face in restless seas.
A
love that never dies for true,
A
love reserved for just a few.
Then one day when old and gray
While watching waves on gentle bays
She’ll join him there on ships of sleep,
Still faithful unto oceans deep.
