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!
