Astronaut
My astronaut sleeps on a star
Tired from searching planets
for galactic friends
His lonely mission finds only moon
and one sole star, who
winks at him offering comfort
I want to climb up there
be his friend and blow bubbles at the night
but I don’t have a rocket
they’re only for grown-ups
I could use some ladders
point them to the sky
or stand on the top of my neighbour’s tree
Would that bring me near?
I wave to him
knowing my Mum will be here soon
to tuck me up for the night
with all my planet hopping dreams
starring in my head
If only he could see me
he’d lower a rope down
and ask me to climb
Together we could watch the moon smile
Background: Wouldn't it be great if we could climb up to the stars?
