On deck, a leader stands tall and true,
The bosun, steadfast, through and through.
With eyes that scan the horizon wide,
They guide the crew, with a seasoned pride.

Their knowledge deep, their skill unmatched,
They keep the vessel, safe and patched.
Through stormy seas, they stand as stone,
A reassuring presence, all their own.

With a nod, a gesture, they direct the way,
Their crew responds, night and day.
Their expertise, a beacon shines so bright,
A safe haven, in the dark of night.

The bosun's watchful eye, a treasure rare,
A guardian of the deck, beyond compare.
Their dedication, a shining light,
A steadfast heart, that guides through the night.

So here's to the bosun, a hero unsung,
Their importance, forever young.
May their wisdom, and skill forever reign,
And keep the crew, safe from harm's sharp pain.
