Oceans Blue

Water, water everywhere! What a spectacular view! The Master's Hand steers our course as we sail the ocean blue! Though the billowing waves may toss our man o' war about, The Master Pilot will keep us safe, of that I have no doubt! I like to think that the playful dolphins leaping about our bow, Were trained by The Master Navigator to guide our course somehow! We've sailed the ocean blue seven months visiting mysterious ports of call, Savoring The Master Creator's handiwork from Trinidad to Senegal! Our rigging has been rent in battle midst furious shot and shell, But our Master Captain's leadership has led us through so very well! When standing midnight watch on moonlit nights upon the ocean blue, I'm comforted knowing that The Master Guardian is watching over you! My supplication to The Master of the Cosmos who directs all from above, Is that one joyful day I'll hold you in my arms forever more, my love! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved Placed No. 1 in Francine Roberts' "Blue on blue on blue" Contest - Jul 2011
