Don’t Challeng'er |

Well, the giant silver bird
Has passed another test –
And this time She came back home
She returned to Her nest.
Four hundred miles per hour –
More than three miles high –
She sure was a pretty sight
As She streaked across the sky.
In the early morning light
She made a “booming” sound –
Her head held high, bold and proud
As She dropped to the ground.
She’d been in another world
For one week and a day –
High above the Earth and clouds
Where people look to pray.
Taken so much for granted
In this here day and age –
But in the books of history
She wrote another page |

| Author's note... Written after watching Her pass directly
over my
house in Orlando for first landing at the Cape
on February 11th, 1984. Also saw Her launch, live. |
