Swissair Flight 111 dissastor Sept 2/98

*When Sea Meets Sky* *(Swissair Flight 111 Disaster)* *On the fateful day of September second* *In the year nineteen ninety-eight* Swissair Flight one, one, one *Reported she was in running late* *An SOS went out across the air* *A pilot�s frantic last goodbye* *He�d jettison fuel over the Atlantic* *This was their last goodbye* *Two hundred and twenty nine souls* *Perished on that fateful flight* *Leaving loved ones forever saddened* *Such tragedy that deadly night* *As the families prayed and hoped* *Searchers raked the cold calm sea* *Tears ran like raindrops* *From the things they had to see* *When the search was finally over* *No survivors was the cry* *Such was the fate of man women and child* *When joined to the sea from the sky.*

Hi bro,

Hadn't you once wrote a poem about the oil rig that had gone down off Newfoundland or was that a song.

Love ya,

Gutting... thank you for reminding us of such tragedy that needs not to be forgotten. But just the picture freezes the blood in my veins, Pops. Reckon I'd become a ghost myself in Newfoundland... Such a great pity that this fitting tribute could be applied in various instances of desperate loss down through the decades. I am sure it is a write that would be treasured by every one of the unsung mourners. Bless you and thank you... your heart is priceless. LOL Kate xx
