Drifting through space

The Voyager spacecraft – Drifting through space;

Further and further – And further away;

Earth long ago – Had faded from view;

As the probe journeyed – To places new;

It must be very – Lonely out there;

Nothing around to – Show love or care;

Just the vast emptiness – Of that dark space;

With an occasional – Bright cosmic ray;

Wonder if Voyager – Remembers earth;

The workers who – Assembled it there;

So long since it’s feet – Touched upon land;

So long since it’s long – Journey began;

Earth, at first, a big – Giant, blue ball;

Fading oe’er time to – Nothing at all;

Earth now a distant – Lost memory;

Could we somewhat like – Voyager be?;

Each drifting on our – Own long journey;

Time carries us from – Things we did see;

Distance transforms things – To memories;

What was once clear now – Somewhat fuzzy;

As Voyager – Travels on it’s way;

So time carries each of us – Every day;

Further and further – And further away;

From things that we thought – Of yesterday.
