I thought it was the Morning Star,
but it moved, and I knew it was a plane.
But in its own way it was a star,
Shinning brightly against the waning dawn,
A testament to the ingenuity of my kind---
Man born of woman, woman born of woman,
Charioteers riding the currents of the wind!

Hats off to you, my brothers, my sisters,
We ape-gods have harnessed the forces;
We’ve come, we reign, we’ve conquered the sky!

Sometimes a poem will just pop up out of nowhere. I was out early, getting ready to go and babysit my little nephew, and this little observation became something of a poem.

Poetry and babysitting, Your life sounds like mine, Art. I'm getting my baby tomorrow.
Glad you could fit in this thoughtful little poem.
