Into Destiny

A ship was being built, Keel laid in `79, Commissioned in `82, Unknowingly would sail forever into destiny. Two persons met the next year, Perfect love,wonderful love, Eternal love. Married,had a baby girl, Joined the navy, Set sail on the same ship. Africa,spain,the 7 seas, Signed for a second tour, Then a conflict,a war. The med, Tragedy, Death, Separation. A son left behind, Never to be seen, Never to know his father, A wife,a daughter, alone The funeral, A presidents speech, Many heroes laid to rest. 21 gun salute, The toll of the bell, Taps, Memories, Fears....
