The Spaceship

The spaceship floated though the dark night sky, The crew was so excited their expectations very high, They had planned this mission for so very long, Anxious to land they hoped things wouldn't go wrong, They traveled to this galaxy from very far away, Leaving families behind they used their time to pray, They were anxious to see what the inhabitants would be like, would they be so very different or maybe somehow alike? The spaceship slowly descended and landed in a field, They all wore smiles their excitement couldn't be concealed, They waited till daylight before venturing outside, They had many questions and hoped none would be denied, As the sun began to rise they emerged from the ship, Each one climbed down a latter and onto a landing strip, When they looked up they saw thousands of aliens around, No one moved a muscle and for miles there was no sound, The captain of the ship was the first one to speak, We come in peace from far away and friendship is what we seek, Our people are kind and helpful and possess much worth, A voice rang out from the crowd saying . . . Welcome to our planet Earth!
