Travel can extend beyond our Earth and into space. Outside of Earth there is an unlimited amount of exploring and discovering to be undertaken.
Song in Space
By Adrian Mitchell When man fi rst fl ew beyond the sky He looked back into the world’s blue eye. Man said: What makes your eye so blue? Earth said: The tears in the ocean do. Why are the seas so full of tears? Because I’ve wept so many thousand years. Why do you weep as you dance through space? Because I am the mother of the Human Race.
A note from the poet: Educational Health Warning. None of these poems or any other work by Adrian Mitchell is to be used in connection with any examination or test whatsoever. But I’m glad if people who like them read them aloud, sing them, dance them or act them in schools. And even happier if they choose to learn any of them by heart.
