Stairs that ascend offer hope with one thing to remember
The steps can also be used for descent, hope dismembered
Every life has a purpose, whatever our path or our design
The stars can represent a distant unreachable place or goal
Or they can offer to us a potential peak to climb over time
Gaze into the sky, know, humanity's rise requires a soul
And we'll find our way, someday, if not now, some day
Potential becomes our fuel, and we'll rise with acclaim
Let us then launch!
“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an
intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion
to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international
politics look so petty." Astronaut Edgar Mitchell
