  It's a sad day today in the US of A,
  In Israel, and around the world;
  As the Columbia crew was headed home
  On a glide, with its wings unfurled.
  
  They were seven of NASAs finest,
  Men and women of varied race,
  Whod gone beyond the bonds of Earth
  And traveled throughout space.
  
  So bright the sun, so blue the sky,
  Their mission was complete,
  Their thoughts now turned to families,
  Their waiting arms to meet.
  
  But partway through their final glide,
  Mid trails of smoke and exhaust,
  An explosion ripped the Texas skies,
  And seven lives were lost.
  
  Those seven men and women now
  Will eer the blue skies roam,
  For they have earned their angels wings;
  NASA--we are home.

  That is a great poem.

  Very hard to read though. Can you change the color? I would hate someone to pass it by because they couldn't read it.
