Ode to the Seafarer
- Celebrate International Day of the Seafarer on June 25th
Across the vast expanse of azure seas,
They ply their trade, a vital lifeline's beat,
Connecting distant lands with cargoes fair,
Sustaining progress, our world's economic feat.
/
These brave and hardy souls, they bear the strain,
Of endless days and nights on rolling waves,
Forsaking comfort, home, and loved ones dear,
To brave the elements, the ocean's raging craves.
/
O Seafarer, your valor shines so bright,
A beacon in the gloom of obscurity,
Your tireless efforts, oft unseen, unknown,
Fuel our lives with global prosperity.
/
Let us now raise a toast, a heartfelt cheer,
To honor you, our heroes of the seas so clear.
