Shuttle Atlantis
From inland to the beaches Stood watching millions of people That came from every corner of the world To be part of a historic moment Atlantis, you will be missed You were part of an era That so many people dissed And yet, space exploration Opened up our imaginations To go above and beyond For the sky was not the limit You taught us so many things That at one time was only a dream With a thunderous soar You opened up the sky for so much more From medical research To studying the earth You enthused us to want much more The people that flew in you Put a smile on the faces of the old and the new A wake up call and always on the ready To wow us with what could be done From a space walk to the awesome pictures of the earth They made us marvel at the stupendous research And every child’s dream was to fly in you And once again make history new The men and the women that lost their lives To make it possible for more flights Will always be remembered as our hero...
