One More Try


Battery recharged, WiFi engaged, safe passage is
indicated. Pass word accepted, welcome, you may
begin another day.

The Titanic was unsinkable, or so they say. History
tells us differently. In the darkness of night, unseen
in the vastness of ocean an iceberg awaits.

SOS transmitted, but received too late. Not enough
lifeboats to accommodate all the souls aboard.
Looking back on it, so many mistakes aligned.

On deck, listing to one side, the band played, Nearer,
My God, to Thee. During World War II, 6-million Jews
were exterminated, as many if not more survived.

The California Camp Fire destroys Paradise. Thou-
sands of homes and businesses burned to cinders and
ash; untold numbers have died.

And today, battery recharged, WiFi engaged, safe
passage may be indicated, but there are no guarantees.
Some will make it through, and too there will be

those who unfortunately won’t. You have lost a loved
one which seems impossible to bear. You decide—if we
have somehow thus far survived, what say, lets at

least give it one more try?
