Titanic

Sunken down deep in the majestic sea,

there's a tale so epic for you and for me.

This shipwreck lingers on the ocean floor,

where her journey haunts us for evermore.

This grand masterpiece that captured the eye,

they dried their tears as they waved goodbye.

Your brilliance it lit up the darkened night,

such beauty so rare a remarkable sight.

A British ship classed as simply superb,

your voyage ending when you hit an iceberg.

Out in the distance where no one could see,

your horrified passengers were trying to flee.

Water rushed through every opening door,

as they ran for safety along the cool floor.

The smallest of boats it helped save a life,

for others the cold cut sharp like a knife.

Down she went with them one at a time,

not even the captain could throw a lifeline.

Most on board they had certainly drowned,

while others they listened for any small sound.

Gold and jewellery they surround like a shrine,

Titanic to me you were simply divine.

In the stillness of the deep lies your watery grave,

and I honour your memory right hear on the page.
