A Sailor's Life
By: Unknown
Courtesy of William M. Howard
A life blood and sweat and strain
On stormy seas and sleeting rain
Sleepless nights and bitter cold,
and
Memories of home that never grow old
All this and much more, is a
sailors life in
Days of peace and days of strife
Little is known of the life they
live, for
Their country, their lives, they
Willingly give
There are times when their bodies
and
Souls are weary
When the days are so sad and dark and dreary
How welcome then is news from
home,
When very often their thoughts will roam
God bless them all, our sailors so
true, who
Gladly fight for the red, white and blue.
