Apollo Eleven.

From the earth they went,

Up into the sky,

Into space.

Further and further away

Sailing towards the moon.

Then on that day in sixty-nine

They landed.

The earth stood still

As the two men ,

Armstrong and Aldrin,

Were on the moon.

Armstrong left the Eagle

And put a foot on the Moon,

And immortalised the words,

\"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Heard by all on the earth.

But were they the first?

What we did not hear

Were his first words,

“They are here!”

As Goldie and Orchi moved forward,

Moved forward to shake his hand.
