I Dream
When on the lonely midnight watch and gazing out to sea,
Thoughts of you waft through my mind gossamer-like, floating free.
And though we are oceans apart and urgent duties beckon me,
I can simply close my eyes and pleasantly dream of thee!
We've been at sea seven months visiting mysterious ports of call.
We've had our rigging rent by many a ferocious squall!
Though our Man O' War may be tossed about by billowing foam,
I am ever comforted when I close my eyes and dream of coming home!
We've borne the brutal battle midst furious shot and shell.
The terrible stench and gore of war I know all to well.
My earnest prayer is that I make it through never more to roam,
When at last you're in my arms to fulfill my dream of coming home!
