Columbia's Rest
Today we are deeply saddened
By the loss of our friends
To seven bereaved families
Americas profound regret extends
Today as we wait expectantly
Our love and friendships to renew
Happy and excited
As you come into view
But you hear another voice
Another destination you see
A voice beckons lovingly
" Come here to me "
We are left behind grieving
Burning tears falling from our eyes
Searching for you desperately
In quiet empty skies
But I know my friends
By now you have landed
Achieved your destination
Obeyed orders as commanded
You have landed in Gods presence
Nevermore to fear
All heaven rejoices
Challengers brothers and sisters are here !
Now just outside heavens gate
Safe in the hearts of you and I
The Columbia and Challenger rest
Where man needs no wings to fly
