Daily I see you, but no thought do I give,
Sixteen years of my life, on my bench do you mark,
Stories you can tell, no one stops to ask,
Pain you have seen, no scars do you show,
Storms you have weathered, in silence you lie,
Teams have you led, no doubts do you show,
Over seas have you plied, little sign can you see,
Shipmates have you lost, no grief can be seen,
Strength have you shown, fear you forget,
Adversity you conquered, defeat you admit not,
Comfort you have given, solace have you sought,
Service you have given, no thanks do you seek,
In the darkness you stand watch, no relief do you need,
Remember your past, with pride should you rest,
Keep watch my friend, part of you I am.
