For Jack and Rose
Not so long ago
just a few weeks
A ship called Titanic
Took five souls to the deep
It's death like a tentacles
with winding reach
Streached out to the future
with ancient call from the deep
Come sail the ocean
that magnificent sea
Dive deep below
in first class seats
Visit the graves
where men are not buried
Yet below the surface
a purpose was carried
Into eternity our God does send
a massive invitation
for hundreds to attend
For some was signaled
the end of the line
Yet others the priveledge
to fight or survive
The journeys unending quest for life
though more than a century
will not five suffice
The name Titanic deaths device
Unsinkable, a filthy lie
Some have told stories
about life so dear
Yet it's a soldiers life
against the sea so drear
And darkness awaits
with unseen fate
Where survival is needed
of unseen faith
The best that can happen
is a Jack and Rose
where one waits in heaven
and the other grows old
The untold disaster
of a beating heart
One soul living
the other to depart
The best thing to happen
is for a title to step in
A father, a mother,
a sister a best friend
Where one tries their best
and the others richly blessed
The very last chapter
ends with laughter
One soul living
and the other just beginning
