Visiting A Forgotten Neighbor

With an ignited blast

Many remembered the patriotic past

When

John Glenn

Took a trip around the world

Performing a galactic twirl

Riding friendship seven

Into the heavens

Proving it can be done

And Nasa’s public support won

Now a new century has dawn

Artemis one and two have been spawned

Shot into the air

Using a wing and flare

Nothing could compare

Accepting this orbital dare

Sparking those

Friends and foes

Rekindle thoughts

About dreams once sought

Ask were they reached?

And left like waves, hitting the beach

Or was achievement earned

Something learned

Priority lessons and concerns

Artemis two will soon shed a teardrop

Come home, not taking a rest stop

Playing a golf round

On course Nicklaus and Palmer found

Protected by the Apollo spear

There will be no fear

Unlike a bogey five on the final hole

When it's discovered the Pacific Ocean is that cold

Realizing space program is maturing, getting wiser, we are told

And will not fold

Instead, soon

Build strong relationships with our neighbor, the moon
