COLUMBIA"S ETERNAL FLIGHT THE NEWS CAME ON IT MADE ME CRY,TO SEE THE SHUTTLE IN THE SKY. THEY SAY IT'S GONE ,IT'S HARD TO BELIVE,FOR THE FAMILYS MY HEART GRIEVES. HOW DO YOU TELL THE CHILDREN WHAT HAPPEN TODAY THAT MOMMY AND DADDY ARE GONE AWAY. JUST WHEN OUR NATION WAS TRYING TO HEAL FROM 9-11 NOW MORE PAIN DO WE FEEL. SO WE MUST TURN TO JESUS,DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON HIM, FOR WHEN YOUR LOST AND LONELY ON HIM YOU CAN DEPEND. SOME PEOPLE THEY LOSE FAITH WHEN TROUBLE COMES TO CALL,THEY WANT TO CURSE AT HIM AND BLAME HIM FOR IT ALL. BUT HE NEVER PROMISED SUNSHINE EACH AND EVERY DAY,HE TOLD US THERE WOULD BE HEARTACHE AND PAIN ALONG THE WAY. FOR EVERY SMILE HE GIVES US,THE DEVIL MAKES US FROWN,BUT IF YOU KEEP YOUR FAITH IN JESUS ,THE DEVIL LOSES GROUND. SO FEAR NOT THAT THESE SEVEN ASTRONAUTS,HAVE TAKEN THEIR LAST FLIGHT,FOR THIER SOULS ARE NOW IN HEAVEN AND LIKE STARS THEY'LL LIGHT THE NIGHT. WRITTEN BY --GLORIA J.COLLINS 02-01-03 IN MEMORY OF THE FLIGHT CREW OF COLUMBIA GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN MAY THEIR ETERNAL FLAMES LIGHT OUR WAY FOREVER.
