I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze
A young Marine saluted it, and then
He stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform

With hair cut square and eyes alert
He’d stand out in any crowd.
I thought, how many men like him
Had fallen through the

This anchor keeps my vessel from drifting,
Never letting my ship run astray.
This anchor holds midst angry seas battering,
When waves and winds battle for my soul.
