In honor of the seven brave souls who lost their lives on the Space Shuttle Columbia on February 1, 2003.
Remember Columbia
2/1/03
Seven Souls
Seven souls in the morning sun went soaring through the sky
Unaware that on this day they were about to die
For some it was a life long dream that had at last come true
They were doctors, pilots, scientists, each with a job to do
Each one brought a unique talent to this courageous band
These seven chose to risk their lives for the benefit of man
In horror we viewed a spiral of white against a sky of blue
With numbness we said a prayer for this noble crew
As these seven gallant astronauts went sailing through space
They left the surly bonds of earth and met God face to face
