I am surprised to find this poem on the internet. I thought my father wrote 'Loving a Sailor' during WWII as he was on a ship in the Pacific. I would truly like to know where this poem originated. Please help with this

As the wife of a merchant marine for 33 years this is how I felt when we first were married... but for what this profession has provided the world for generations with honor and respect I understood the why and I further understood the difference between want and need... merchant mariners love strong, independent women they do not have worry about! God Bless you!
