Oh hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea..." 

"Lady Lex & My Dad" by William F. Horosz, Jr. 

The poem above was composed by William F. Horoze Sr. Son. It was a father’s day gift to his Dad.

 

      My dad, a young lad of just eighteen,

Had to make a decision that wasn't keen,

Losing his father was hard enough,

The thought of being drafted was tough,

So he chose the United States Navy,

For he wanted wings of gold and bravery

His vision wasn't the best,

So aviation ordinance was his test,

Loading the deadly cargo every day,

Hoping for peach to come quickly our way,

But the ship was hit by a torpedo near some bunks

Dad used to sleep there in his trunks, 

He was moved about a week before 

God was with him now even more
