Our Words to "Part of Your World"...
Look at this sub! Isn't she neat?
Proud to be part of the submarine fleet!
Wouldn't you think we're the crew,
The crew whose got everything!
Come take a tour, blue crew or gold,
How many sailors can one subby hold??
Lookin' around here you'd think,
Sure, we've got everything!
We've got gadgets & gizmos a-plenty!
We've got nuclear wutzits galore!
You want thing-a-ma-bobs? We've got twenty!
Even so, what I miss is on shore!
I wanna be where my kiddos are!
I wanna see...wanna see 'em playin'!
Laughing around at the, what is that name, Chick-Fil-A!
Under the sea you don't see too much.
Leave is required for time with fam'ly.
Still I'm so proud to protect
The U S of A!
Land of the Free! Land of the Brave!
Yet on the MARYLAND, I still crave
Wandering free; wish I could be
Part of your world!
What would I give, if I could live
Out of these waters?
What would I pay if I could stay
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land, things would be grand!
Still, I must help protect our waters....
For our freedom! For YOUR freedom
I'll take a stand!
Ready to stand up for what is right,
Stand up for what our forefathers valued.
Serving my country as part of the Submarine Fleet!
I can't tell when, but I will vow:
Love, if I could, I'd kiss you right now!
Bring on the Tugs! I want my hugs!
Part of your world!
June is usually thought of as "the wedding month"...it is
even an anniversary of ours, though not wedding...9 years ago

visit Our Love Story, but be sure to
head back here to see what else is going on!!
Daniel's last sea duty tour was served
aboard the USS MARYLAND
in beautiful, historic St. Mary's, Georgia *_*

"If I take the wings of the morning,
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
even there shall Thy hand lead me,
and Thy right hand shall hold me."
Psalm 139:9&10
To my Dadda Bear Under Da Sea:
I can BEARLY wait 'til you're HOME with ME!
Yes, Dadda Daniel was at sea for yet another Fathers Day
(6/17/01).... We sent him off with a special care package
though...with a homemade t-shirt with the kids handprints
outlined in "hug position" on his shoulders *_* He confessed
that he had already opened his Fathers Day package early in a
letter, so....
Happy, Fathers Day, Daniel *_*
