4. For the Divers & Sailors 🌺🌺
For stars that shine and winds that blow
And whitecaps marching row on row.
And they can never lonely be
For when they lived… they chose the sea.

For the Divers & Sailors 🌺🌺🌺

And when your span of life is passed,
He'll meet you at the "Captain's Mast."
And they who mourn on distant shore
For sailors who'll come home no more,
Can dry their tears and pray for these
Who rest beneath the heaving seas.

2. For the Divers & Sailors 🌺🌺

'Tis true you cannot kneel in prayer
On certain spot and think: "He's there."
But you can to the ocean go…
See whitecaps marching row on row...
Know one for him will always ride…
In and out… with every tide.

1. For the Divers & Sailors 🌺🌺🌺

In ocean wastes no poppies blow,
No crosses stand in ordered row,
There young hearts sleep, beneath the wave…
The spirited, the good, the brave.
But stars a constant vigil keep,
For them who lie beneath the deep.

A young Tory MP's name gets mentioned as someone ready to cross the floor. He goes to ground and then suddenly announces he is stepping down.
Young MPs just don't quit politics unless someone dumped a political horse head in the bed.

Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Coastal First Nations to sign the North Coast Protection Declaration and call on the federal government stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban.
