Titanic

With a big gash on her side still no one thought she'd sink In wanting to enjoy the ride such things they didn't think The alarms had been sounded with lifeboats at the ready Yet thinking it was unfounded as the boat remained steady The crew began calling out for everyone to enter a craft But most of them still had doubt as some even laughed Again and again they tried to save even just one more They all stood side by side not knowing what's in store Time after time, chance after chance they chose to stay Committed to that stance even up to their very last day As the ship now tilted many then soon began to realize Like a blossom that had wilted from a deckhands' eyes As if in calling out to you, somehow someway you'd see All these alarms are true even if you yourself don't agree You felt and heard that noise surely everything isn't right As yet another lifeboat deploys drifting off into the Light

Yes if people actually knew His Truth they too would be getting people into "lifeboats".For God provided lifevoats for everyone. But people need help boarding sometimes. We are Gods deckhands. God Bless Jo Daniel. God Bless us all.

Thank you Jan. Eventually, we all end up needing to be saved. If Only They would have been more prepared and everyone was saved. God Bless them all, but us also. Take care Jan!
