God,
Who stretched the Star Spangled Heaven's,
Infinite in time and place...
Flinging the suns in burning radiance,
Throughout the voids and fields of space,
We your children in Your likeness,
Share creative powers with You,
I would rename a Star after one I love,
In Your image we are made & as shooting stars,
Our intentions are to serve You.
Proudly rise our modernn cities,
Stately buildings row by row,
Yet empty windows with blanketed stares,
Leave lonely eyes cast down on streets below,
Robotic process day by day undisturbing ebb and flow,
Lost to purpose and to meaning no destination or place to go.
We have ventured worlds undreamed of since the childhood of our race,
Known the ecstasy of winging through untraveled realms of space, probed the secrets of the atom yeilding unimaginable power, facing us with life's destruction in our most triumphant hour...
As each of the disant horizons beckon,
May each challenge us once anew,
Children of the Creative purpose,
Serve life once more to honor You,
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
Each endeavor well begun, Great Creator,
Give us guidance until our goals & Yours
Are one.
