Titanic's gift chapter 5

       Titanic excitedly flicked at her mooring lines as she smiled at the passengers boarding her. She was in Southampton, England, and she was finally ready for her maiden voyage! She was feeling very confident about it, and she was humming a tune under her breath.
       Thomas Andrews appeared at her bow railing. "How are you feeling today, Titanic?" He asked. "Are you nervous." Titanic giggled. "I'm excited!" She exclaimed. Thomas Andrews smiled. Every ship loved to go on their maiden voyage. It was almost always the highlights of their lives. Plus, something special was waiting for Titanic...
        At last, all the passengers and items were on board and Titanic was ready to set sail. As the tugboats passed her, one gave a smile, and suddenly every ship was turning to her. The RMS Oceanic was the first to speak. "Dear Titanic." She declared. "We have heard of your wonderous gift to the world, and we have loved it. As a tribute to this marvelous treasure you have brought us, we now return the favor with a gift to you as well." All the ships took in a breath, and they began to sing in a marvelous chorus, their voices clear and strong...

"Farewell, farewell
Godspeed, Titanic
From your berth glide free

As you plough the deep
In your arms I'll keep
Safely west may you carry me

Sail on, sail on
Great ship, Titanic
Cross the open sea

Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds sing Godspeed to Thee
Fortune's winds sing Godspeed to Thee!"

     As the song had finished, Titanic had tears of happiness rolling down her face. "My dear poseidon..." She said softly. "That was the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life! Thank you, everyone!" The ships began to cheer as Titanic made her way out of the harbor. In the back, Olympic was crying as well as she watched her sister leave for her maiden voyage. As the younger ship left port, she sang one last line...

"Fortune's winds sing godspeed to me!"
