Crash

Pilot shaken, but composed, water splashes... crash! Fear prevails, his voice firm, to ease panic... miracle! Bold captain achieves goal, passengers... alive! Hail to him, dauntless captain, he saved lives... joy! My Lanterne is dedicated to Captain Chesley Sullenberger of USA Airlines-Flight 1549 Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci
