Though I have seen both storms and gales
The times that I have spent at sea
The loving wind that filled my sails
Was the woman waiting home for me

Those long dart nights I stood my watch
While she ws left on shore alone
I hope she knows my heart was caught
I'd left it there with her at home

For every time our lines were heaved
Her heart was left to sit and wait
I can't imagine or believe
Her love for me could be so great

These ships I've sailed for months on end
While she stared lonely from the shore
Across the waves the love she sent
Would see me safely home once more

From foreign shores I'd send my love
At home for me she burned the fires
To women she's the step above
My love,my life, my one desire

And on the days when I returned
Her beauty it was waiting still
The time apart of no concern
Her love for me had iron will

The day this sailor leaves the sea
A debt of love I must repay
A thousand years will never be
A payment for a single day

So gather round so you can hear
If you should doubt God's love in life
She's waiting right there on the pier
My gift from God, my Navy Wife.
 

Dearest Kelly,
For all the times I never told you how much your Love meant to me.
I Love You, Your Sailor
Michael
