Stepping into Heaven  

It's about space, 

and science, 

and brave men and women.  

Those heroes who rise above the fear... 

- and Endeavours 

- and Challengers 

- and Discoveries 

- and Enterprise 

- Pathfinders to the new Atlantis.  

While far below 

are the small men, 

comfortable in lives that are so certain... 

and yet dull.  

I guess it's about that morning, 

and Columbia; 

exploring the high frontier, 

riding the wind like an arrow... 

dancing with angels... 

and stepping into heaven.
