From so far away he contacts me
While sailing on the Nimitz out at sea.
He sends me pictures of planes high above
And along with them he sends his love.
He sends me pictures of the ocean so wide
And of Navy ships sailing side by side.
I see no land but water instead,
A life so different than he once led.
I see many Sailors standing on deck
They seem so small, like a tiny speck.
It's through a computer that this is done
By way of e-mail, I talk to my brother Ron.
Yes knowledge has increased, I'd say for the better
E-mail is much quicker than mailing a letter.
In a matter of seconds he can talk to me
Though sailing on the Nimitz far out at sea.
My Brother, who is Commander aboard the USS Nimitz.
