Every good mariner
And it is our common lot to show the marks of the voyage, here a shattered prow, there a patched rigging, and every hulk turned black by the unceasing batter of the restless wave.
May we be thankful for fair weather and smooth seas, and in times of storm have the courage and patience that mark every good mariner;
And, over all, may we have the cheering hope of joyful meetings, as our ship at last drops anchor in the still water of the eternal harbor.
~Max Ehrmann (1872-1945)~
