The Shuttle
For the seven astronauts that gave so much
In the back row
(l-r) Mission specialist Ellison S. Onizuka, Teacher in Space Participant Sharon
Christa McAuliffe, Payload specialist Greg Jarvis and Mission specialist Judy
Resnik. In the front row (l-r) Pilot Mike Smith, Commander Dick Scobee,
and Mission specialist Ron McNair.
I sat in my school and on the intercom appeared,
A voice torn and shattered, a voice full of fear;
'The Shuttle and the seven astronauts are gone.'
A chill went down my spine and I knew something was wrong,
I picked up my backpack and as I came home to mom,
her eyes filled with tears. The news of the shuttle became very clear. I guess they accomplished what they set out to do.
They brought the world closer and filled our hearts too.
Now, as they rest comfortably in heaven,
we'll never forget those courageous seven.
This poem from my heart and the heart's of all children
is what we have to give to the astronaut's families and the country, in which we live.
