It was a year today
that the
Shuttle Columbia
met its fate,
seven happy souls
lost in a tragic event,
that never should have been.
They dedicated their lives
for the enrichment of mankind,
their hearts were happy,
their souls were free,
they lived their lives
to be able to soar
amongst the stars.
The fallen ones
were brave to be
so far from home,
they had so many
stories to tell.
The story about
what a great adventure
it was to see the Earth,
from so far away.
My heart and soul
are with the familes
of these brave astronauts,
whom dedicated their lives
for future exploration.
Let us not forget,
the fallen ones.
