Our Castle In the Sky
As we watch our dark evening sky
Bejeweled with magnificent stars,
Called to our minds comes the endless
Dream to solve all the mysteries
Entrusted to vast cosmic space-
Forever, our undying wish.
Great questions we ask about space;
Have the answers always been vague?
Is it much too much to surmise
Justly, far worlds support life?
Know of us- where we are?
Likely explore their own skies
Many million light-years away?
Now, we are secure on this Earth;
Of course, when we think about her,
Perhaps as just dust in the sky,
Questions about why we're here,
Relative to measureless space,
Sometimes are too much to address.
Thank God for our heaven of stars
Under which we thrive, even though,
Vast, endless heavens surround us
With mysteries deep and unknown.
Xanadu for sure, you are Earth!
You are our great castle among
Zillions of spheres in the cosmos.
