"Deployment"

This one is from a gal named Kathy Hudak. Not sure if she was a sailor or the love of a sailor… Either way, it’s a seaworthy poem…

Fine young adults they grow up to be,

They dream of life out on the Sea.

The uniform they proudly wear,

The Flag they serve by land, sea and air.

They serve their country, make her proud,

On ships that sail beneath the clouds.

In every port on every shore,

The U.S. Navy’s pride does soar.

It fills their hearts with courage rare,

Lord, please keep them in your care.

Keep them safe, our sailors dear,

Until once more, we have them near.

Fair winds we hope will grace their days,

And peaceful seas they’ll find we’ll pray.
