Gabriella's Entry:

Although she went down in midst of fear, loss, and panic,
We'll never forget the story of R.M.S. Titanic.

In April she'd left port on that cheerful day,
and very few would live to see the month of May.

First class, Second class, Steerage and Crew,
Passengers relaxed on this ship that was new.

She swiped the iceberg, which damaged the hull,
Titanic's future already looked dull.

After sinking to the bottom of the North Atlantic,
Her passengers were left feeling cold and frantic.

For many that night, it was the end of their lives,
But hope was soon coming for those who survived.

They waited and waited for an hour or two,
until finally Carpathia came into view.

They arrived in America and saw Lady Liberty,
and their stories were told for all of eternity.
