Korean War {The Navy} 

Some ask about my Navy past

from times ensnarled in life's morass.

It is now soupcons, broken shards

upon the seas of my life cast.

 

Is there any afterglow

in Navy life from years ago?

Do I remember my good friends

who faced same fears where e'er I'd go?

 

I first thought not...my mind disclosed

that door to past was never closed.

They are now treasured memories

to permeate my reveries.

 

They oft are filled with deep nadirs,

but like the sun and tides and moon

I quickly find to quench all fears.

Those lessons show I best attune.
