by Lucy Lynn
What strength of courage
spurs man to seek
Deep in the crmt
of this earthy sphere;
Or mar in boundleu realm
a way so bleak,
For attributes of life
to conquer mortal fear?
To di~para~ acts
of tho~ brave muds who dare
Skyward to
some distant starry form,
Could deter the progrem
of the life we share
And disquiet
the useful purpose they perform.
Enet~¢ provides the fulcrum ~
with which we build
Irresolute, the slothful
langmdly fall behind,
Yet "Only One Short Step
By Man," fulfilled
A blanket need with
"A Giant Leap For Mankind."
