Takeoff

I'll boldly go where none have gone before,

Within my heart I'm still left wanting more;

To sail into the void with open eyes,

To find new things that make me much more wise,

It truly shakes me to my inner core.

I never know what space will have in store,

It brings my courage right up to the fore;

To span the galaxy's enormous size,

I'll boldly go.

I hope to make the cosmos' grand tour,

The endless nights, the darkness hold allure;

The tears flow freely with ecstatic cries,

As I find out the universe's whys;

The stars show me a treasured open door,

I'll boldly go.
