Ol' Bear & Sarah

This was to be their first, grand journey. Who would dare believe? Sarah Maple, and Ol’ Bear Her special, robot teddy! Both, strapped inside Securely; Await a lifetime ride; Her heart is jumping, as Her nine-ish, choc’ late eyes grow wide. Fear mixes with Excitement; Humility with pride; When she realizes she’s Histories first starfolk child. Soon, they would be riding, Fiery, rolling, thunder, cloud above the humid dawn. Destination: International Space Station. Then, tucking one loose lock of Coal-black hair behind her ear; Glances sideward to Ol’ Bear…and gulps. He gives one soothing wink to Sar. She smiles. Then, hanging on For all they’re worth, They soon are floating High, above the earth.
