A Sailor
By
Win Rainer
Frail man of pensioned age, I hail
Alone at sea and under sail
A courages man, in line with Drake
As of old, did it for Englands sake.
An example was set, for the youth of today
The will to succeed in his own quiet way
He gave England hope in her hour of need
It’s men like these who are born to leed.
He inspired all, with no wish for fame
As round Cape on storm tossed seas he came
Master of his craft, and the cruel sea
This man is what he set out to be.
