Tribute to the heroes who man the Lifeboats around our Island.

The Few.

There are the mere few
........................ still used by the many,
Who always refuse
...................to turn back from danger,
And in whose wet shoes
.........................not many would walk.
Who never misuse
............................the credit of heroes.
They need no excuses
............................to face raging ocean
And those it's abusing,
....................yet fight with small boats
For souls they won't lose.
...............................Life-saving angels
Are whom we would choose
.......................to wrap in God's caring
When sea-storms effuse
..............................their terrible worst.

When storm and tempest are the worst, In heavy seas , life comes first, boats flung like toys in massive a wave A salute to all, the strong and the brave.

A poem that ebbs and flows with the mood of the sea and imparts with a magnificent tribute to the often unsung heroes of the waves. :)
