A Submariner’s Silent Watch
He sailed through life, both calm and wild,
A steady course, a submariner’s soul,
In silent depths, his legacy stays,
A compass true through endless days.

No final salute, no loud goodbye,
Just quiet strength beneath the sky.
In every heart, his spirit gleams,
A guide, a star, in all our dreams.

He etched our Navy in stamps with pride,
History and honor side by side.
With every detail, line, and hue,
He brought his vibrant world in view.

His love for life knew no restraint—
In food, in wheels, in words, in paint.
He lived with laughter, grace, and spark,
A sailor’s fire, a kindled mark.

His journey lives in every tide,
A lighthouse shining far and wide.
In every act, in every choice,
We hear his quiet, steadfast voice.

Fair winds to you, Commodore Dhir,
Your legend sails forever near.
