Make A Wish

Faraway, way up high
Is where I want to be
Where the stars shine and can make you blind
And the sun is bright that it shoots out light.
Space can seem like a daunting place
But let’s look closer and I’ll tell you why
Yes, black holes are known to suck things in
And the milky way is not so thin.
The floating rocks that zoom on by
Often collide and explode with pride
The galaxy is filled with life
Such as asteroids and comets all going for a ride.
The planets are known to be like a sphere
No need to have fear as it really is so clear
Just close your eyes and make a wish
For the shooting stars that whiz by so quick!
