The Mistress Sea
She ebbs and flows and plays a tune
To moon and stars that shine
She gives us life and ample food
And cant be judged by time
She see's the passage safe of ships
Or breaks their hearts in two
She bears no malice sailor brave
But has her job to do.
The mighty sea that cant be tamed
Though men have often tried
Left many frightened ill and maimed
And many more have died
But yet she holds her secrets well
her mystique temptress borne
From calmest day to heavy swell
When hope is felt forlorn
And though her destiny be wrote
By weather, stars and moon
Her care not of one single boat
Can spell a sailors doom.
Here's prayers for luck on ocean's blue
Safe passage one and all
Fair wind and sun i wish for you
Amidst the roughest squall.
