new-found love lost
and precious bravery won.

a noble sacrifice given
to save our daughters and sons.

​

we slowly sank
aboard the Titanic.
children clung to their mothers,
the crew in a panic.

​

will we remember
anything of that day?
it changed everyone’s lives
and changed some men’s names.

​

from that criminal hoping for a better life
and the young sailor boy,
to the man helping his brand-new wife
and the old man with his family destroyed.

​

forming a line on the steps of the stairs
standing there arm in arm,
the woman smiled through her tears
seeing her daughter safe from harm.

​

that fatal Titanic did not hurt our soul,
I have faith in humanity’s kindness.
waiting in line silently crying,
I saw the baby brigade.
