Untouched your virgin body, floating there in space

Supreme upon the ocean’s vast domain,
Yet those who watched her launch, and bid ‘Godspeed’,

Dismal stars out
Contrite to feelings
The moon glows brightly.
The storm is inside.
Tears form as I cry.

Regret, I don’t.
Have I done wrong?
Here and now stand
Weeping for hope.

All smiles
Go miles,

All cries
soon dies,

Face fears
shun tears,

All hate
can wait,

As such,
LOVE much,

Laugh off

Be kind
Save Wild,

Be wise
Shun vice,

Good deed
Godspeed,

Find nooks
Read books,

All's swell
ends well!.
