5050 “What Time Cannot Erase” 08 February 2006 When the sun shines and the Titanic was raised Then your world could be bright and a summer time over winter grazed Each day another to spring - to know she was there waiting - Another mountain to climb those heights of ecstasy to reach This love for her in ways understood - her beauty all in soul to behold - Another day - another year to begin - to the time in reaching the wreck Wanting more than sun shine needing her in waves of good Just to know she was everything as if that added up to ways of how life to be should The world was stunned in 1912 by the loss of the liner Titanic on her maiden voyage. Halifax, Nova Scotia, located on the eastern coast of Canada, in a connection with the Titanic disaster, playing a key role during the tragedy's aftermath and becoming the final resting place of many of her unclaimed victims. Halifax was where the maiden voyage of Titanic really ended, with the most lasting legacy from the sinking located there. The story of the Titanic and the iceberg has grown into a legend of the sea. It took her discovery in 1985 by Dr. Robert Ballard, an oceanographer and marine biologist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. to begin to find the truth behind the myth. On 10 April 1912, the Royal Mail Ship Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on her maiden voyage to New York City in the USA. At that time, she was the largest and most luxurious ship ever built. At 11:40 PM on 14 April 1912, she struck an iceberg about 400 miles off Newfoundland, Canada Three Halifax ships were involved in the grim task of recovering victims - many of whom were laid to rest in three of our city's cemeteries. Rows of black granite headstones, each inscribed with the same date, 15 April 1912, are a stark reminder of the disaster. a poet who cares |

We say time heals all wounds....but it's a lie. Time heals the easy wounds and scars over the ones that are a bit worse.....but some, it doesn't touch. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
