A Sea-Faring Fare Thee Well

How many times have you imagined What your final words might be? Our whole life builds to its ending... We hope one of serenity. Sad. But oft it happens So much sooner than one expects - Our last opportunity to express The secret self that one protects! My last request, like that of many Before me and to follow - Please tell my family that I love them And to live their dreams with each tomorrow. Let them know that though afraid, I somehow was at peace. For I know other's lives were spared Though mine was doomed to cease. Briefly I can celebrate For I am part of a unique group Who travelled on Titanic Before she sank into the soup... The brine bubbles and rises. Titanic groans and cries... Fare thee well to she and me! It's time to close our eyes.
