Did See a Shoe
Did See a Someone's Shoe
Deep in Atlantic did see someone's shoe
Which was when our curiosity grew and grew
As to owner of shoe at one time had been
Who none of us here will ever see again.
Story they told about Titanic was all true
Can you imagine things they went through
Worrying and thinking about their doom
While some went searching from room to room.
To abandon Titanic fearless few had refused
As an example of bravery each one was used
To both bolster, settle down and stabilize
Those full of fear that exhibited many cries.
Passengers, ship staff and parents died
Relatives tears go on and on and are not dried
After children's names on death list were found
And friends that they wish were still around.
Two sections of Titanic hulk, they still exist
And to find what is left, people still persist
To continue searching was hard to refrain
From trying to find what still does remain.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet
I wonder if thoughts about the Titanic will ever
disappear just like the big ship did.
