Flying across the stars

A million miles you went

Across vast seas,

Where I can't yet go,

Anchored as I am,

to children and grand children.

Pioneer you are,

Ranging 

across vast skies,

Planets and stars.

You navigate them unbound by earthly bonds

In perfect freedom

To go where you would go.

Except to return to my arms,

Where I could hold you again.

How I miss you, 

Sailing far from me.

Sometimes I seem to feel you

Surprisingly close.

One day,

My soul will be as free as you.

I hope, i pray,

will come at the end of this long night,

Such a glorious day.

And we can navigate the stars.
