Death At More Than Two Hundred
Thousand Feet
Today we mourn for the loss
of the seven astronauts
who bravely faced the consequences in space
for the benefits of mankind.
They dedicated their lives for good cause
to the young generations,
who will soon follow their footsteps.
They fell from the sky and back to earth
where they come from.
When Columbia exploded in fire balls
more than two hundred thousand feet above the earth.
Like meteorites slashing through the sky
Bits and pieces fell everywhere.
The tragedy was felt by the entire nation,
and around the globe.
We pray for their families and relatives
that they maybe able to accept the reality
that their loved ones are now in their final rest
With the Lord Almighty.
