What in the future lies
My God Shall Choose The best
His loving kindness compressing
To him I leave the rest
I do Not know I cannot tell
what God's love may prepare
I only cannot get
Beyond my Fathers care
Choose Thou for me I do not ask
To see and know my way
If I am His and He is mine
My Comforter and Stay

4-10-1912
Third class passenger on Titanic. The poem was
untitled,
though, it was signed "With every good wish from
your
loving mother 4-10-1912"
.
The Titanic
The greatest ship the greatest wreck
those left behind we pity
They launched it well and from the deck
looked like a moving city
For just five days it sailed quite nice
it filled all with delight
When suddenly it struck the ice
at 12 that fatal night
The Captains voice, "Man the boats"
then commenced thet panic.
"Women and children must go first"
from the ill fated ship Titanic.
For four hours they had fought death
natures elements proved the best
Eight hundred saved, remainder drowned
may God now grant them rest
Fourteen hundred have gone down
with fame and wealth untold
God bless the crew they did work hard
and died like heros bold
Progress now seems a mockery
experts well may frown
The ship they built that wouldn't sink
has, with human gems, gone down
Author: James Coneys
On April 10, 1912, The Titanic started out on her
very first voyage
which was to be from South Hampton, England with
a final destination
of New York. Titanic stopped at Cherbourg, France
and Queenstown,
Ireland, picking up passengers in both places.
Never making it to the
final destination, Titanic struck an iceberg at
11:40pm on April 14th.
Even though there had been iceberg warnings, the
ship was traveling
at a speed of about 20.5 knots when the iceberg
was struck. A ship
which had been called unsinkable, sank to the bottom
of the ocean on
April 15, 1912 at about 3:20a.m., two hours and
40 minutes after it
had struck the iceberg.
The Titanic was supposedly the safest ship to ever
be built, in that day.
For that reason, there were not enough lifeboats
to carry all 2200 of the ships passengers. There were only 20 lifeboats
on the ship and this they would hold only about half of the passengers
on the ship. Sadly, not even that many of the passengers were saved as
lifeboats were sent off
before they were filled to capacity. While every
passenger was given a life vest, it wouldn't do any good to those who would
end up in the water, which was four degrees below freezing.
A quote from a passenger in a lifeboat, John Thayer,
tells us:
"We could see groups of the almost fifteen hundred
people still aboard, clinging in clusters or bunches, like swarming bees;
only to fall in masses, pairs or singly, as the great after part of the
ship, two hundred and fifty feet of it, rose into the sky, till it reached
a sixty-five or seventy degree angle."

lifted onto
The Carpathia, April 15, 1912.

In all, 1,522 passengers and crew became victims of
Titanic when she
sank. The ocean liner Carpthia rescued 705 people.

Darkness, Darkness
Be my pillow
Take my head
And let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness, Darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see
Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depth of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of ri-ight now.
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence, the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right....
Oh yeah Oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah
