In repose of Bernard Kracunas
You prepare a haven before me in the Homeland of Eternity;
You quieten the waves with oil; my ship rides calmly.
Surely sunlight and starlight shall be with me wherever I sail,
and at the end of my voyaging I shall rest in the port of my God.
Taken part from A Sailorman's Prayer the author was Captain John H. Roberts written 1874
