Swallowed up somewhere in the South Pacific Amelia and her Lockheed Electra vanish one day On July 2, 1937 her last radio contact received In that time, poor navigation tools at play In an attempt to circumnavigate the globe With Navigator Noonan she bravely set out From South America they headed due east Following a planned but difficult route Africa, India, S.E. Asia and on to New Guinea But she never arrived at the next scheduled stop Howland Island, a ship standing by to refuel In the vast ocean, this land only a tiny drop Many scenarios imagined over the years Ditched in the water and lost to the sea Crashed on an island and finally succumbed Knowing that lost to the world she must be. At home in the vast reaches of the sky Breaking ground for the women of her time Scholar, author and fashion trend setter A unanswered tragedy, she still in her prime * In December of 2010, 3 small bones, a shoe, and some makeup found on Nakumaroro Island in the vicinity of Howland Island. DNA studies underway to determine whether they might be Amelias.
