Cornelius Douglas Poems

           
I wonder as I look at you
do you know what must be done?
Then as you grow how proud I am, my friend, young man, my son.
...

          
A thousand friends came passing by and  cheered me on
my way
As homeward bound my ships course set
...

  .      

I went to sea again today
It was as though the first
...

Pearl of beauty, Pearl of life,
Within your channels deep
Rest the men and tools of war
For you and God to keep.
...

          

His day goes on while others rest
He forever bears the strain
...
