Paula Goldsmith Poet Rhyme

Titanic

What is the noise I hear,  
could it be a loud cheer?  
Oh no my dear,  
we must leave and go the ship's rear.  
Looks like the lifeboats are all gone,  
the stars and moon are out before dawn.  
We must not be afraid,  
just listen to the music being played.  
Maybe we should say our good-byes,  
guess this new ship was not a great prize.  
Do you really think we will die,  
you are my girl and I am your loving guy.  
Take this love note and my pen,  
my darling one day we will meet again.

Valsa George January 7, 2024 at 12:40 AM A heart rending good bye.... ! The story of Titanic, even after years, stays as a dark memory in human history! How many had to be buried in the water bier.
