Out of This World Vacation

I think I was born
A few decades too soon
Because I'd like to travel
To places like the moon.

To far off planets
In the sky up above,
To see if there's life,
Yes, that I would love.

In the future I'm sure
This will just be home base
As we travel the galaxy, 
All over the place.

I can just imagine
The joy it will bring
When planetary travel
Is an every day thing.

Vacations will be
Far beyond the stars.
Travelling in space ships
Instead of cars.

Yes, I think I was born
A few decades too soon
And I suppose I will never
Get to visit the moon.

Prepare for blast off, Francine. If Jules Verne were alive today, he'd have found a way to facilitate space travel. So many worlds to explore! Great entry and I wish you success in Barbara's contest. Love, Carolyn

You have me ready to start packing for an out of this world vacation, Francine. Too bad we don't have the technology yet. Someday perhaps we'll be able to travel to many places. Good luck in Barbara's contest. Diane

Good luck in the contest. I need to get in gear before this is full. I think we are working hard on planetary travel and we will not be around by the time you can vacation on the moon. Your poem brings out the imagination of that possibility. God Bless Phyl
