Year
Will you remain with us, Scandies Rose?
we'll always be your rugged salty crew,
chapped by the ocean's kiss.
You were our mainstay and our vessel,
you went down the depths with us.
The sea with her surface of blue glass,
of swells, of tempests-
Our sweet Rose,
twenty foot seas and icing,
forty mph winds,
you were listing on your
starboard side.
Now the oceanic beauty has our
bodies in her tidal bosom.
The sun gifts the brine golden,
yet, there was never a promise to
return to a misty welcoming harbor.
Neath eve stars,
our wives awakening from dreams
without rest.
Our children's faces stream with
tears trickling down into the
receiving seas of our spirits.
Will the mysteries of the deep
turn them to another life on land.
In the moss-green waves,
in the seabirds' cries our
souls are sealed,
Poseidon's loss,
as we are everlasting sons
of our Lord's keep. ~
In Loving Memory
