The Flower
One hundred years has passed this year,
Since John said, "I must go from here
To Canada and start again,
This man gains naught to here remain".His wife-to-be felt that way too;
Said as Titanic with its crew
Set sail, then sank beneath the sea,
"Perhaps they'll now more careful be."When they arrived just after snow,
To Winnipeg they chose to go;
They made a life with friends and kin,
Then family life chose to begin.It takes a while when transplants shift
To frozen ground from Scottish mist,
To settle in, take root, and flower –
To draw from earth sustaining power.navigation
