Member Poem

In flip-flops and laughter, they walked hand in hand,
On the quiet beach shores, across golden sand.
Chester, the captain, with Julie his wife,
Together they sailed through the journey of life.

For sixty-five years, their love held fast,
A bond that endured like a sail ship’s mast.
Casting lines by the water, beneath the sun’s glow,
Fishing sweet moments in tides high and low.

At sunset, they watched the seabirds take flight,
With a glass of wine in the soft fading light.
The ocean, a mirror, reflecting their dreams,
A life full of love, both simple and serene.

But there comes a time when every journey must end,
Though this one has closed, a new one begins.
His soul, now a seabreeze, forever set free,
Sailing the winds of Eternity’s sea.
