5645 Next to the Moon 25 August 2006 Somewhere on a distant star, this light did shine This place in her heart right next to the moon Just to know her heart was full of love this beauty of destination found Age old traditions, or was this in the eyes of God, a prophet foretold Her understanding that to redeem, just to look into her eyes, just to reach forth and know Would it be that day together never, never to depart God created love, but did He make it possible to forgive The pain of separation, a longing of togetherness Just to understand that day, the day love would be true “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.” John F. Kennedy (1917-1963 assassinated) 35th President of the United States of America, (1961-1963) Moon Speech, Rice Stadium, Houston Texas, September 12, 1962 © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |
