Thoughts on Apollo 11, 21 July 1969
(dedicated to Rangeville Space Pilots' Club)

From Earth to Moon! How wonderful!
Dear God, your laws are true!
And yet, we try to live on earth
as if we don't need you!

We know the laws of motion,
of gravity and the like,
and forget the Ten Commandments
and all the laws on life!

We thank you, God, that Jesus came
to bring us back to you
that we may know in everything,
dear God, your laws are true!
