ONCE UPON A SKY

One minute sunny and clear

Suddenly cloudy followed by fear

Sometimes Rain

Followed by lightning and thunder

As a child I wondered why?

Why do stars twinkle?

Why are there so many planets?

Wondering child

School said Astronomy

Scientist said the Universe

As for the sky, God’s creation

I began to understand

All scientific

The beauty being terrific

Each night I would see the sky telling me a story

Glace and look up

Shooting stars that would zoom far

One wish

One hope

Believing heart

Caring soul

Behold

A story of wonder told

Into the unknown

Sky odyssey

Discovery
