Amelia Earhart's Plane

They found Amelia Earhart’s plane!
An under-water drone,
Using sonar, sent an image
Of the Lockheed she did own.

In 1937,
Out to circumvent the globe,
Earhart disappeared and searchers
Had no clues with which to probe.

She’d planned a fuel stop on an island
Out in the Pacific
But never made it; rumors
Of a crash were not specific.

Yet the years have not diminished
People’s interest in her case
And a current exploration’s 
Given hope we can embrace.

Though confirmation’s yet to come
And will take pricey gear,
This news, unlike the usual,
Is wonderful to hear.

A very good poem and a final resolution. I wrote an Amelia poem but I'll have to toss it now because mine ended with mystery. Thanks for the poem and the news for her family.
