STARS <\/p>\n

Stars falling from the skies,
\nIs what those ancients thought,
\nWondering if it was possible,
\nFor a single star to be caught.<\/p>\n

Alas, so many strange ideas,
\nWere believed in those days,
\nAs they sought to understand,
\nThe Almighty’s wonderful ways.<\/p>\n

But truly going to Outer Space?
\nSurely it was a dream of fools,
\nBecause in those olden times,
\nMan did not possess the tools.<\/p>\n

But now centuries have passed,
\nAnd we sing a different tune,
\nPerhaps with Elon Musk’s help,
\nWe’ll make it back to the Moon.<\/p>\n

No doubt you heard his quest,
\nYes, to make his mark on Mars,
\nAnd should we make it that far,
\nWill we continue to the stars?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
