Hi All.
I have been writing poetry/verse for many years and thought it time to put something to music.
Shackleton’s Heroic Voyage
In the vast expanse of icy seas,
A hero sailed, the bold Shackleton, with ease,
His ship, the Endurance, set for a daring quest,
To conquer nature's fury, he was truly blessed.
Through treacherous waters and bitter cold,
His crew stood strong, their spirits never sold,
With hearts afire and unwavering might,
They battled the elements both day and night.
Braving the Antarctic's icy grip,
Shackleton's leadership never took a dip,
Through endless days and endless nights,
He inspired his crew with resolute might.
When the Endurance succumbed to the frozen sea,
Their spirits remained unbroken, wild and free,
With hope as their anchor and courage their guide,
They faced every challenge with unwavering pride.
Across frozen plains and treacherous ice,
The Heroic Voyage demanded sacrifice,
But Shackleton's unwavering determination,
Led them to safety, a triumphant celebration.
Ernest Shackleton, a legend in his own right,
A beacon of courage shining through the night,
His heroic voyage will forever inspire,
A testament to the human spirit that will never tire.
