In Memorial to the Commercial Fisherman Lost at Sea

Down to the sea in ships they go, these chosen men of steel. Though mist and foam and northwest wind is pounding at the keel. So sail they must each crispy morn, away from trees and sod. The sea may own their windburned flesh but their souls belong to God! —by Bud Smith 1975
