Yet a tiny fraction, there is so much more
Such a prominent universe to explore
Numerous galaxies, planets and stars
Orbiting the Sun above just like Mars
Saturn has a ring, others have a moon
Planets filled with gas like a hot balloon
Travelling in light years, so far away
Yet our solar system is a vast array
Looking through my telescope, planets to see
Looking out for Jupiter and Mercury
There is icy Pluto further from the Sun
My curious journey has just begun
The strong pull of gravity, keeping into place
The days, months and years, yet moving at a pace
Fascinating satellites, informative machine
Launching of the space crafts, places never seen
If I were an astronaut, how would I feel?
Adapting to space food, a dried and sealed meal
Travelling on mission, in the atmosphere
Witnessing diameters that I can but revere
On that day however, was my teacher playing tricks
Looking through the glasses, viewing the eclipse
Yet the Milky Way has a spiral twist
Looking from our planet, where current life exists

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I love the universe, and I love your writing!
Great job!
Thanks GERALDINE (lovey name) Your awsome Poem and the haunting music lifted my Spirits on a Tuesday Morning. Your poem demonstrates a deep understanding of our Galaxy ~ the Milky Way (another lovely name !) and our Solar system deep within it. GOD created and designed Planet Earth to be a living Planet ~ Mars & Venus & The Moon are uninhabitable. So we must show our thanks to GOD by PRESERVATION and not POLLUTION !
