I set off
For the stars
I walked and ran
And used many cars
Finally, I boarded
A rocket to leave earth
I was ecstatic
And full of mirth
Ignition, liftoff
My craft did shake
A momentous journey
I would soon take
Three, two, one
Thrusters online
I was feeling
Rather fine
I was now in
Outer space
Starlight fell
On my face
I orbited
The globe
Mysteries
I would probe
I did experiments
And fixed a satellite
I was amazed by the vastness
Of space within my sight
Finally
I would go home
Space I would
No longer roam
