Just staring at the moon can elicit a sense of wonder – a fascination for what exists beyond our little planet. But it can also bring about a feeling of pride, especially this year, when we celebrate how wonder turned to action, and got us to the moon 50 years ago.
Apollo 11 (50th Anniversary)
Walk out there
And look up –
It’s hard to believe
We made it all the way out there
(And of course, a few still don’t)
And most of the time
We just take it for granted
Like the moon itself
But today
Just
Stop –
Just pause and ponder
Your dreams
Just gaze into
Your future
And just appreciate the beauty
Of now
Because that’s really
What it means
When we look up
And out
And realize yes
Anything is possible
With just one small step
After step
And we look up
And out
And whisper a distant
“Thanks.”
