There's a new star over Texas
Its the symbol of courage unsurpassed
There's a new star over Texas
Its is a fire that will last
It holds the souls of the Brave
That gave all and now are free
Its the symbol of what they gave
To find new things for you and me
They left us in a flash at dawn
And served their duty well
They have been taken far beyond
'Twas just the shell on fire that fell
They were out to achieve
A purpose for you and I
Searching for things in which to believe
Beyond this Earth and Sky
They traveled so far above
And watched us fighting down below
And may have glimpsed the Love
That engulfs the Earth you know
They saw how small we are
And I'm sure a prayer was their last thought
As they became a living star
That we might fight the last war to be fought
They were the lucky ones you see
No longer trapped down below
They saw it all as God and Angels see
That in this hate we may never know
So lets thank them today
And ask them to do all they can
To send spirits with wisdom our way
To open the eyes of earthbound Man.
Thank you Shuttle crew
We will remember you.

Thank you Monty for permission to share this with our readers!
Yesterday Monty sent me an
newer version of the above poem. Rather than replacing
the one above I have decided to post the new one here, because
he has now put it to music. I am not sure what tune but
if you want to know more about this song please contact Monty
Fisher.
There's a new star
over Texas
It's courage unsurpassed
There's a new star over Texas
Its is a fire that will last
Seven souls so Brave
That now are flying free
It's the symbol of what they gave
Finding new things for you and me
They left us in a flash at dawn
They served their duty well
They've been taken far beyond
'Twas just the shell on fire that
fell...........................
They were out to achieve
A purpose for you and I
Searching for things in which to believe
Beyond this Earth ... and ... Sky
Chorus: Seven white horses
And a chariot on fire
That's what carried them
away
Now their voices sing in
a Heavenly choir
They sing in heaven today
Yes, they sing in Heaven
today
They traveled so far above
Watched us fighting down below
They may have glimpsed the Love
That engulfs the Earth we know
They saw how small we are
A prayer and their last thought
As they became a living star
Was that the last war might be fought
They're the lucky ones you see
No longer trapped below
They saw as God and Angels see
Like we may never know..........................
So lets thank them today
And ask them to do all they can
To send spirits with wisdom our way
To open the eyes of ..... earthbound ..... Man.
Chorus: Seven white horses
And a chariot on fire
That's what carried them
away
Now their voices sing in
a Heavenly choir
They sing in heaven today
Yes, they sing in Heaven
today
About
the Astronauts
Presidential
Speech
Senate
Resolution 2/03/2003
"The
Senate commemorates with deep sorrow and regret the fate of
the Columbia space shuttle mission and when it adjourns today,
it does so as a further mark of respect to the astronauts who
lost their lives."
"Each
Columbia crew member was a pioneer," said Senate Majority
Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn. "They would want us to
recognize their sacrifices through our comments and through
our review of their lives and through comforting of their
families. I also know they would want us to determine the
cause, to fix that cause and to move on in the same spirit of
exploration."
