I hope you enjoy it…
When you float in outer space
with no one else around,
it gets a little lonely
and you start to miss the ground.
The familiar touch of Mother Earth
and friends to share the news,
is the kind of isolation
that can give someone the blues.
But you don't have to be in space
to feel alone and down;
you might swim a crowded pool
and still feel like you could drown.
But all it takes to raise some hope
that there'll be better weather,
is connecting with a friendly face
just like a spacesuit tether.
So if you feel you're out of touch
reach out to find a smile,
and if your feet are on the ground
then go the extra mile:
find someone who's drifting off
and offer them a hand,
bring them back into the ship
and help them safely land.
