The Birth of Aviation

THE BIRTH OF AVIATION It began with Orville and Wilbur Wright Who had a vision of man in flight They reasoned that if a bird can fly What about man – why can't I So work was started with a simple plan That soon would lead to the flight of man To see God's world from a view up above Their work became a real labor of love They both worked diligently day and night To achieve their goal of man in flight Eventually their dream came to fruition And ushered in the age of space exploration It led to much greater knowledge, and soon Man even walked on the face of the moon The Wright Brothers' vision has stretched beyond the stars And now man is looking at walking on Mars Due to the dreams of these flight pioneers Who had a vision beyond their years Man has been where none had trod And 'played' in the veritable backyard of God Curtis Moorman 1 June 2012
