Lift Off

"Kites rise highest against the wind not with it" -Winston Churchill

Its easy to stay on the ground
And watch the clouds from below

Never knowing what it's like to soar
Life down here can be so slow

There's something higher than the Moon
I hope to go one day

A place of celestial wonder and awe
Far beyond the fray

See most look up and see but sky
There's more to up unseen

There's a whole world left untamed above
Lovely and pristine

Can you feel the wind it blows
Softly on your face

Follow the wind until it stops
You've now reached outer space

Planets are born and stars die
Swirling galaxies softly glow

Onward brave adventurer
Let us continue the show

The edge of the universe is almost here
What's beyond? I don't know so...

When you get there send me a postcard
Will I get it? No
