Short Stories

“I’m Proud to be an American”

I’m Proud to be an American

In a land where you are free

Where you can live next to neighbors

Without animosity

I’m Proud to be an American

In a land where you are free to love

Where we are blessed by a God

Who smiles from above

I’m Proud to be an American

In a land where you are free to roam

Where you can sail its seas

And always come back home

I’m Proud to be an American

In a land where you can live without fear

And be with loved ones

And all you hold dear

“Reunion in Heaven”

We must go out to sea again,

The years are winding down,

We’ll soon be seeing God, friends

And shipmates He has found,

God, what are chances to raise our ship,

We’re going to need her for our trip,

Hark; your loyal angel is there to round up the crew,

Many are with You except for a few,

Oh, what a joyous reunion there will be,

With PC 65 as it heads out to sea,

With God at the wheel we have nothing to fear,

Love everlasting with all we hold dear, Amen
