I wish I could fit the whole thing on a flask. Sailors pray, For fair winds and a following sea The smell of salt in the air, The feel of their skin as it's touched by the spray An albatross soaring above, Dolphins in the ship's wake at play To witness a work of art that only God can create, The sunset at the end of day At night a million stars in the sky, Safe anchorage in an islands lee When the time comes to die as for all it must, To awake in Sailors Heaven where nothing ever rusts And always there would be, Fair winds and a following sea | |

Work it may, shine it must. Get that %$& pilot out of my chair! When the draft of the vessel exceeds the depth of the water you’re aground! The Captains not always right but he’s always the captain. I’m hitting the rack, call anytime, just remember if you need me, I don’t need you!
