Nightsky


On the day of July 20, 1969 A fateful man changed the outlook of mankind The first steps he recorded in outer space Captivated and astonished the entire human race Now as I look up at the moon and the stars I realize those unique objects in the sky aren't too far The beauty of the moon and stars is easy to see Its beauty makes you wonder like, watching a mystery movie As I look up at the sky, I think about the complexity of space Not only how close it is, but how it's such a different place It's amazing how God made the moon and stars coincide How it led the slaves to freedom, and how it raises our water's tide How it's beauty reflects on water with a sparkly gleam And how it also represents reaching high for your goals and dreams The moon and stars represent something very deep and bright It represents a mystery of passion and adventure you see every single night It's unique beauty stares at us when the sun goes down It allows us to escape from the world; to be unbound So every evening as I stare at the night sky Sometimes for good reasons and others I don't know why I'll look at the bright moon and the twinkling star And realize these objects represent my potential can go very far How far it is, and how high can it go Just like the amount of stars in space, only God can ever now.
