Face In Space

We started that colony when we first came Never realizing that on earth we would do the same. We put our face on the planet as a mark in time Only to find that we would have to repeat it in kind. We found that the angry red planet could not make a suitable place To deposit our seed and continue our race. We had to move to a home with a more temperate life Wanting to not continue contending with the heated strife. We saw the blue sphere was inhabited there next in space Your people were more than hospitable than others in any kind of place. We put our face on your blue planet, too Knowing some day, it would be discovered by you.

I believe the Egyptians did have help in building the pyramids and this type of technology could have only come from extraterrestrials, Daniel. Your last two lines are amazing and I think this poem will do great in Carolyn's contest. Take care, Diane
