Those we love don’t go away

They walk beside us everyday.

Unseen, unheard but always near

So loved, so missed, so very dear.

A NAVY POEM

When I was young many years ago, I joined the Navy, why; I don’t know.

I served my time with honor and pride, for this young boy it was a great ride.

I went places I’d never dreamed, time went so fast or so it seemed.

I met people I’ll never forget and even some I wished I’d never met,

but as I think back on those days gone by, my ship, my shipmates, brings a tear to my eye.

I didn’t know it then, never gave it a thought, but my time in the Navy, could not have been bought.

I guess we all feel the same after we’re out, the pride we feel, that’s what it’s about,

having served our Nation, keeping it free, protecting our way of life, and our liberty,

and the friends, I made along the way. Would I do it again? Any day,

and to all my shipmates, Anchors Aweigh!
