Dreaming in a spaceship

I dreamed I was in a spaceship,

Flying through the stars.

I passed a comet on the way,

As I headed off to Mars.

The stars were as bright as diamonds

In the darkness of the night.

The moon shone like a precious pearl.

It was an amazing sight!

My spaceship landed on the moon.

It was wonderful for me!

So I climbed onto the surface,

To see what I could see.

I walked round for a while,

But there wasn't much to do.

I found a flag and a rock or two,

And then admired the view.

The next thing, it was morning.

I was safe and snug in bed.

I told my mum about my trip.

"What a lovely dream", she said.

I stared at the scene before me.

It was such a lovely view.

A satellite spun round and round,

But on and on I flew.

I flew through the rings of Saturn,

I circled the Earth below.

Neptune shone with a dark,

blue light And Venus seemed to glow.

The ground was very bumpy,

There were moon rocks all around.

Everything was very quiet

And I couldn't hear a sound.

My spaceship left and made a loop

Around the Milky Way.

And then I felt that it was time

To go back home that day.

But I knew there was something real

About my space trip to the skies.

For I found a moon rock in my pocket

And there was stardust in my eyes.
