Haiku Wednesday

Space Shuttle
You are all I know
Ten years old when you first flew
Columbia soared


I read the manual
I went to Space Camp, two times
Astronaut my goal


Cold January
My heart froze, Challenger gone
NASA still stalwart


Endeavour first flew
Years after her sisters built
Space Station workhorse


I'm off to college
Is reaching space common place?
My dream wavering


Discovery seeks
It brought Hubble to orbit
Universe smaller


I am too old now
Shuttle done no where to go
Dream is still alive


Atlantis ends era
Thirty years leading the way
Ahead of its time


Today's ten year olds
How will they reach the stars?
Where is their future...
