One more has gone from my life.
I have been a Trekkie since it started,
Started back in nineteen sixty six
And I watched it then
As I still do now,
But Uhura is no longer with us.
She made history in her performance,
The kiss she had with Kirk was the first,
The first kiss seen on television
Between a black and white actor.
She passed into space this day,
Travelling to places
That nobody has gone before.
May her Spirit travel to those places,
Those places of wonder in the Universe
And show the love that many have for her.
Bless you Nichelle Nichols.

A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
I've not seen Star Trek much. I got in Dr Who's Tardis. He dropped me off 10 million years BC, to sing there, then left without me! lol.

may she rest in peace
