T T EN , by Chaplain John K. Dodge You want to know what contentment is? Well, I'll tell you. Aboard this ship lt's a break in a long day, A few moments to sleep or read or play, An hour to just let things slip. Contentment is a man asleep on a dirty life jacket With arms asprawl and face at ease, A tired man who was up before dawn, Using his body of muscle and brawn, But now relaxed in a moment of peace. Contentment is a man sitting on a valve wheel, Carried a world away in the pages of a book, Where laughter is and the women smile. He's in that world for a little while And happiness is in his look. Contentment is a man writing a letter home, The South Sea sun seems to shine at his own front door He imagines the home folk reading his mail, ' Written while on this long lonesome sail. The hot deck is transformed to his living room floor. ww... A Then, man stations two and four and six . The reverie is broken, the moment consumed. The sleeper disturbed, idle chatter stilled. There's work to be done, dry tanks to be filled. Back to those lines, for refueling's resumed.
