It commenced its voyage on an ocean of dreams
As passengers boarded children’s happy screams
There was elegance and poverty the rich and the poor
All had the same fate ending on the oceans great floor
As Titanic left shore the crowds waved their farewell
Goodbye to their loved ones and bidding them well
As the ship drifted off on the ebb of that tide
No-one could foresee its fate, so hard to abide
The rich and the famous decorated the room
With their expensive gowns they made the men swoon
Romance filled the air sad stories we hear
Of the young and in love who had nothing to fear
On this ocean of dreams then tragedy occurred
An unforeseeable iceberg the memory is blurred
All felt a slight jolt but the entertainment went on
Only the Captain and Crew knew the panic to come
The Captain then ordered an SOS to be sent out
“We don’t have much time” to all he did shout
The message came through the ships fate was done
Ships too far away in time could not come.
The lifeboats were lowered not enough room for all
Then panic ensured, panickers to the sea did fall
Women and children first, all crying for their Dad
The musicians played on though their music so sad
A Priest gave comfort to those who had fear
“It’ll be over soon” a Mum whispers in her child’s ear
Sleep now my children, drift off to the land of nod
Soon we’ll be in Heaven and will all be with God
The Titanic up-ended and to the sea they all fell
They ended their lives to the sea’s frozen hell
The lifeboats half empty didn’t come to their aid
Tragically out of such numbers not many were saved
A Film was made from account of those who survived
A wondrous dedication of the passengers lost lives
It tells of a love story, one died one lived on
How she kept her promise & their hearts did go on
It commenced its voyage on an ocean of dreams
As passengers boarded children’s happy screams
There was elegance and poverty the rich and the poor
All had the same fate ending on the oceans great floor
As Titanic left shore the crowds waved their farewell
Goodbye to their loved ones and bidding them well
As the ship drifted off on the ebb of that tide
No-one could foresee its fate, so hard to abide
The rich and the famous decorated the room
With their expensive gowns they made the men swoon
Romance filled the air sad stories we hear
Of the young and in love who had nothing to fear
On this ocean of dreams then tragedy occurred
An unforeseeable iceberg the memory is blurred

How she kept her promise & their hearts did go on
Dedicated to all who died on The Ship of Dreams.
