DREAMER

When I was a boy I looked into the sky,I wondered why.I saw the stars and wondered how,I learned some were planets,some were satellites and some were comets.Still I believed I could go to them, but how and when .Then I saw the men on tv go to the moon,I figured I too would go there soon,but how and again when. I figured there must be a way. I was sure that I would get there some day,but how and when.Sure I'm older now and I saw in the sky an amazing star.I figured its not really that far maybe now I can figure out how and simply decide when. But I'm stumped again.Maybe I can get to the moon its the closest thing ,maybe fly to Saturn and dance on her smallest ring.But if I left now at a tremendous speed I probably wouldn't live long enough to hear her sing.Why should I try or wonder why,I know its not probable, surely unlikely,still I wonder,still I try,still I never give up, never cave in until finally I die.
