Written, April 9, 2025 For The Premiere Contest, “Memento On The Moon” Sponsor, Suzette Richards
We left our Nation's sign up on the Moon, with footprints clear, and flag still standing tall. A stepping stone to future times in space? Or wars to claim the Moon- never to share? Our footprints live- these years have not erased the glory of that day we etched its sand. Some have placed flags- but not by human hands, and woe the day they fight to seize the Moon; to change it from the Earth's celestial scene- to victory, they'd seize through cosmic wars. Now, this framed poem I would send up there as my heartfelt memento on the Moon- pray that my words inspire countries to share its vantage point to leap from and explore!
