Space Cowboys
We look to the sky and wonder
the vastness of space
the complexity of what we see
the amazement of what could be out there
The adventure of discovery
the frontier beyond our sphere
they ride the rocket to the moon
someday maybe Mars
someday, maybe beyond
the terrifying reality of something going wrong
the horse not surviving the trip
not being able to send another horse
make these space cowboys
heading on a possible one-way trip
to no where
and yet they ride
the horses have failed before
the possibilities behind
unknown lights and unresolved pictures
reflecting back ideas that someone else might be out there
we must always remember
long ago a few brave souls
taught us the importance
of our collective knowledge
intelligence
and will to survive
and most important
that lives are more important than missions
and getting home is a job well done
for that is what will tell
someone else out there
who we really are
and what is important to us
what together makes us
human.
