Viewpoints

viewed by astronauts,
Earth is a massive blue sphere
stand outside at night, look up

see a universe
filled with sprawling galaxies
we’re but specks of creation

Hi Carolyn, Thought I'd say to you that as always you are in my prayers and thoughts, God will keep you safe if He wills, I liked this poem can't say why? I guess it's because you have so many great ones. thank you for your reply I was worried because I've hadn't heard from you God bless you and yours. Robert

You have put such an enchanting beauty in these lines that one would like to have really a look of our planet from outside to feel the greatness of your write.

Yes, so very true! We are one of the smallest planets in the universe! We're also one of the smallest systems in the universe! This poem is perfect for this subject! I love how you had people out in space looking in on our planet and those on our planet to look out at space! Very nicely done Carolyn! Great Work!!
