Star Dreamers

“We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.’” Ronald Reagan _______________________________________________________________ In moments’ burst, there touched the sky brave souls who fell to earth as stars - but in the heavens now they fly. In moments’ burst, there touched the sky a group that we now glorify. They blazed the trail; perhaps to Mars man soon will go; dreams do not die. In moments’ burst, there touched the sky brave souls who fell to earth as stars.
