A Blaze of Glory
Some walk through life in a blaze of glory heroic deeds, astronomical challenges, living history and well done fetes.
Some whisper through life on gentle winds
of good fate, a lucky star perhaps?
Or just good at dodging flying bullets?
A very few are chosen to reach into outer space.
To stretch the bonds of earth's gravity,
to fly into outer space, once only a dream,
or fodder for Science Fiction writers.
To float in an atmosphere weightlessness
to touch an unseen angels wing...
To look into the dark heavens with their earthly eyes.
How wonderful for them to see the dust that makes up you and me.
Space Shuttle Discovery will soon leave the pull that's hold all in place
Her crew of seven filled with excitement, knowledge, training,
and love of space, the love of the known and the unknown,
wait for countdown's measured time, when blast off comes
and lifts them to the sublime in a blaze of glory
they will go space explorers moving the wind.
