Zachary Mcclure Poet Narrative

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.
