All

On this astonishing day, 
Beneath the overwhelming sky, 
I am not reluctant to pray 
For poise as we prepare to fly 
Into the unknown, come what may. 

We cannot know what lies ahead 
But I will not tremble in fear 
Nor will I question thoughts unsaid 
As the appointed time draws near 
To walk into the dreams we've fed. 

Extraordinary vows speak 
Of spiritual unity 
As we gaze into triumph's peak, 
Daring to glimpse eternity, 
Beyond the human flesh so weak. 

Oh, I pray we stand strong and tall 
For generations yet to be; 
Let the world see we greet the call 
To live as one in harmony, 
Facing the future of it all.
