The universe is vast and strange.
Each day the systems rearrange
The order of the asteroids,
That plummet off into the voids.
The planetary storms arise
And comets dazzle human eyes
And every giant, solar flare,
Disturbs the waves within the air,
That we use to communicate.
Most really can't appreciate
The concepts of unending space.
It is a mystery to our race.

Out there, where super stars are born
And black holes gape, where moons are torn
From out there set trajectory,
Is there a place for you and me?
Where massive clouds of gas appear,
To float around the atmosphere
And man now has a station there,
Where nations come so they may share
Discoveries, amazing news
And scientific facts to use,
In settling the new frontier
And live in space, with naught to fear.

I guess I'll never see that day.
But all my great-grandchildren may!
