Exploration Ahead
Will you take a ship to Mars
free the world from ‘planes and cars
travel in a big balloon
look out world – it’s coming soon!
Will the houses grow sky-high
cows and pigs learn how to fly
will our cats learn how to speak
look out world – let’s take a peak!
Will the sunflowers grow so tall -
they touch the clouds - make them fall
will the honey bees make jars
full of honey – made from stars.
Will the daytime sky stay blue
you can paint it something new
if the moon starts tumbling down
catch it quick, then hug it round.
Make a happy home and then
add more laughter for children
everyone is welcome here
in this world we call Our Share.
