I never regretted
A single day
When I joined the navy
Received my draft
And sailed away
I’d write, send gifts
From far away
Time drifted by
In those halcyon days
When life was slower
More relaxed I’d say
Before the internet
Invaded the day
We spent the time
At work and play
Taking time to enjoy
The days
All things stopped
To watch the wales
The only scenery
The horizon
The rising and –
The setting sun
And though I’m old
They don’t fade away
Those memories of –
The days I sailed away
