Columbia Shuttle

Seven New Angels

February first, two thousand and three,
as returning to Earth, a shuttle was lost.
Two women and five men, lost in the debris,
realizing their dreams, but paying a high cost.

A very sad day, for family and friends,
of two women and five men, living their dreams.
Sailing the Heavens, until the trip suddenly ends,
as mighty explosions, through the sky streams.

In Heaven now, seven angels reside,
two women and five men, their lives have been taken.
For their life long dreams, they lived and died,
and now a whole world, by this tradgedy is shaken.

The entire world weeps, and is in despair,
for two women and five men, who traveled in space.
All the joy and wonders, that together they share,
they now share with each other, in God's Heavenly Grace.
