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

Make no mistake, It was Titanic that brought them there. The Titan was just the name of the transport.

This thought touches my heart deeply. "where one waits in heaven and the other grows old." Your words hold meaning and truth. This is beautiful, tender and emotional, all at the same time. ~ Brandy
