Randy Freie Poet Rhyme

A Sailor's Prayer

Oh mighty mistral winds
Fill my sails and take me home 
This voyage never ends 
Over countless seas I roam

On this ship I'm but a slave
Still I struggle and I try
I fight each giant wave
As it blackens out the sky 

The unrelenting sea
Pitches wildly to and fro 
It won't get the best of me
No matter where I go 

If these mistral winds prevail
Then no peril can befall
Till it carries ship and sail
To my final port of call

Kim Rodrigues May 23, 2024 at 8:57 AM My husband was on a small ship that experienced a good old fashioned hurricane…apparently not recommended. :) Randy Freie May 24, 2024 at 4:43 PM Hi Kim, was he Navy or Coast Guard? What was the name of his ship? I was on the Richard E. Byrd, or as we called it, the Dickey Duck.

Kim Rodrigues May 22, 2024 at 8:37 PM Very nice, Randy! Randy Freie May 23, 2024 at 12:33 AM Thanks Kim, although the ship I was on in the Navy didn't have sails, we hit some serious seas that tossed us around like a cork in river rapids. I appreciate your continued support.
