A Journal Of Space

Imagine you are in a mighty space ship shooting through the stars,
You land safely on the moon and take a careful step outside,
How magical is that feeling of standing on the moon?
You open your journal to write about today,
Stop and think,
How can this possibly be put in words?
Not sunny or rainy!
Not an ordinary day!
Not like anywhere on earth!
Well that’s because it’s not, is it?
The crew calls you over,
They have an engine problem with the space ship,
What are you going to do now?
I know the answer to that, stop imagining.
