Titanic

1. Titanic that day 100 years ago

It moved me to tears to read that day
What happened to Titanic while on its way


I huddled in a corner and cried and cried
What has besotten you my mom did sigh

2. Passengers strolling on the top
 deck of the Titanic ( 1912)

3. The Promenade Deck of the Titanic,
 located underneath the top deck (1912)

With two thousand plus passengers both rich and poor
Titanic of Belfast shipyard was lowered


From Southampton to New York it was to sail
But iceberg struck and  all around mournful wails


A record of speed and size it was,
But a record of biggest disaster it was


Musicians on board played "Nearer my God to thee"
And then truly nearer were they to "Thee"  


Millionaires Widener and Harris put their wives in boats
And Straus and wife perished than be split


What a gory night it was, when the ship was doomed
Though near the moon, but still no moon

I huddled in a corner and cried and cried
What has besotten you my mom did sigh


Then years later the movie made
On screen then Titanic we all did gaze

4. Movie  "Titanic"

1912 alive again, the rushing, the hugging, the touching Adieu's
And costumes of the period we all did view


Now Balmoral enroute again
On 14th and 15th in Delhi it rained

5. Passengers are photographed in the 
MS Balmoral Titanic
Memorial cruise ship, prior to the gala dinner
in the Atlantic Ocean, Tuesday, April 10, 2012.

Seemed nature too was giving homage
A century gone, but I read the page**


With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart
Resolve to begin with a Holy New Start


Love, Peace and Joy I will give to all
Then only can I live and stand up tall
