Poem: Beyond the Universe

LET US SING

Beyond the Universe

I dream of flying beyond the Earth,

amidst the planets and the countless stars.

I would stop by the red planet Mars,

here we dream of a home away from home.

Fly on, to watch the Saturn,

with its ring and moons.

Then, I stopped by Jupiter, marvelled,

by its red storms that look like marbles.

Hurdling through a belt of asteroids,

I crossed Uranus, without a fuss.

To Neptune, the blue ice giant,

Further high, I fly, beyond the galaxy.

To meet the creator,

Of this Magnificent display.

To take me beyond the Milky Way,

To voyage across the galaxies.
