The Girl Who Whispered to the Moon

The Girl Who Whispered to the Moon

At ten years old, beneath a sky so deep,
I saw the full moon, round and bright,
And whispered secrets I would keep,
"Oh lift me up, to see the world tonight."

It was before a footprint graced that silver sea,
Before the world heard, "one small step,"
Just a child, just nature, just the moon and me,
And a dream that never truly slept.

So I learned, I worked, I found my way,
A degree, a job, a ticket of my own,
From a whispered wish to a brighter day,
I walked the world I’d once only known.

And oh, what an amazing world it became,
We did more than just gaze and gleam —
Men walked on the moon, calling it by name,
Searching for water, living the dream.

Strange and wonderful, this life we live,
From moonlit whispers to rover's track,
So much to learn, so much to give,
The moon still lights the journey back.

I asked the moon to lift me high,
It taught me instead to fly.
Not with wings, but with open eyes —
The world is waiting beneath the sky.
