TITANIC VISION
The great one glides to her ultimate destiny
Soon to etch in time an infamous legacy
All souls aboard not knowing their fate
An iceberg ahead
Just lying in wait
This huge ship of iron
Cutting easily through a wave
About to send so many to a watery grave
Dozens of safe crossings by its Captain so proud
Confidence buoyed by calm seas
And nary a cloud
Little children run and play on her gigantic deck
The Creator knowing for some
Their parent's last trek
Young lovers completely oblivious of the future
Set plans for America and offspring they'll nurture
Yet this massive ocean
Earth's giver of life
Can be so unforgiving
Making widows of many a wife
The rich and the poor
Standing shoulder to shoulder
Going down with Titanic
Never to grow older
As loved ones in life boats
Hear those horrible cries
They are doomed to relive them
For the rest of their lives
