Brief Dedication Poem by Joyce Hemsley

Brief Dedication



'England expects every
man will do his duty'
... ... ... ... ... ...

Those brave men who go
down to the sea in ships:
one was Lord Horatio Nelson,
Admiral famous, officer bold,
loved by Lady Hamilton
but feared madly by the foe.
First Viscount Horatio Nelson
wounded in battle1805 but died
graciously with those famous
three words 'Kiss Me Hardy'.

The unique restored 'Victory'
maybe seen by lovers of history
near the shores of the deep
at old Portsmouth dockyard.
Nelson's body is entombed
in St. Paul's Cathedral.
~~ God Rest His Soul ~~
