Lost At Sea.....Poem by Kenneth James Hill

As my eyes gaze across upon the shallows,
Into deeper darker waters i see,
Where many a man, lady, child and baby
Have been lost to the mysterious sea.

Never reaching the place they were going to,
Never returning to the place from where they have come,
They're gone forever but always remembered
In the hearts of their dear loved ones.

******************There has been a lifeboat service operated from Cromer for two centuries - predating the establishent of the RNLI. The volunteer crews at Cromer have gained a record of gallantry stretching back to the beginnings of the RNLI. Some of the most notable rescues and service have been carried out by famous coxswains such as Henry Blogg and Henry "Shrimp" Davies and their crews. To date there have been awards of 45 Bronze medals, 8 Silver medals and 3 Gold medals.***********************
