On That Grand Day
On That Grand Day
~~
I’d love to go back one hundred years ago
Before heading out in the North Atlantic
And meet all passengers first class and below
While touring the unsinkable “Titanic”
With every detail I would love to know
And gaze at the ship that was so gigantic
The captain stating ” The ship unsinkable”
It seemed impossible and unthinkable
~~
While meeting Captain Edward Smith face to face,
Would he believe me if I told of his fate
As he walked me down the stunning grand staircase?
He’d probably command orders to his first mate
Demanding to have me get off the ship’s base
When I mention a disaster that will create
As they travel through thick fog, dark and hazy
And hitting an iceberg, they’d think I was crazy
~~
I know I could never make history change
But how great it would be to go back and see
Yet an eerie setting that might feel quite strange
Knowing what will happen when they set out to sea
If only I could convince course to rearrange
Then the fatal history might never be
No one would believe I was from the future
Trying to mend a wounded past with a suture
