To Reach Beyond The Stars

To Reach Beyond The Stars Release thy soul of earthly bonds And tear stained dreams To reach beyond the stars And touch the Milky Way Leave now this earth That holds the face Of tragic scenes To drift beyond what lived To be my yesterday Step beyond the hatch Of earth's ship thy soul encase To taste the mist Of joyous world beyond my own Majestic peaks of new Mountain range to embrace As weightless soul finds peace Beyond my earthly home Heaven awaits This weary traveler from afar When from dream dost wake And promises are revealed So will shine the face ... The brightest of brightest star And before the throne of this life My heart will kneel To live the dream To find the freedom of the flight I sleep but for now Within what is called my life Where joys meet tears And meaning Sometimes goes unknown Awaits this life To awaken as Heaven's own In Dedication to the crews of the Challenger and the Columbia Michael Smith Dick Scobee Judith Resnick Ronald McNair Ellison Onizuko Gregory Jarvis Christa McAuliffe David M.

I remember this so well. On the way back from Maryland visiting friends. Beautiful tribute. Rain..

This is a beautiful and touching tribute to the brave men and women of the Challenger and Columbia. Your words have done them proud. This poem they may wear as a garment in heaven that the Angels may know how loved and appreciated they are.

Your poetry is a blessing and for that i humbly thank you.
