She glides like o grey ghost into theliarbor tonight But deep in my heart, there is o joy so bright. fl wife of a seaman, I ' m destined to be, And seeing the ship come In, does something to me. Eoch Time it deports, it takes part of my soul, Rnd until it returns, I ' ll never be whole. No matter how long, or for you ore away I wait for the winds to sail you home one doy. So proud of you, I olways will be R father, a husband, defending our country. Don ' t worry or fret about things back at home, My heort Is with you, so you ' re neuer alone. Rs long os the tides shall roll to the shore, Vour ship will come in, just os before. Contributed by, Estrelita Smith l wife of GMGI Smith) Commanding Officer: CDR Donald A.
