First Footsteps on the Moon

First Footsteps on the Moon

A rocket soared through the sky so bright,

Towards the stars, into the night.

With courage strong and hearts so bold,

A dream of ages now unfolds.

The moon was still, a world unknown,

Until one day, a man was shown.

He stepped upon its dusty ground,

And left his mark—no sound, no sound.

“That’s one small step,” his voice did say,

For mankind’s hope, a brighter day.

The Earth below, so far, so blue,

A miracle that felt so true.

A first for all, this giant leap,

A memory the world will keep.

For on that moon, so cold and gray,

The dream of all took flight that day.
