Titanic

They wave to loved ones,
Sorrow filled, but sweet goodbyes.
As a mother drops to her knees
And wipes her daughter's eyes.
Tears still linger behind her sight,
As she sees her town
In the clear morning light.
They said America was the land of dreams
And the ship they were on
Would get them there by steam.
A sturdy and unsinkable ship
She hears someone say,
And soon enough they were on their way.
But out of darkness
Dawn should break for the last time.
Soon night should claim her
And thousands of lives.
She hears the cries of many
As she sinks down deeper
Into the black abyss,
And leaves the earth
A gentle kiss.
