Giant Leaps
1 I stare at the screen,
afraid to blink
and miss history.
2 "That's one small step for man,"
he says
"one giant leap for mankind."
3 Small like the breath I take as I watch,
like the moon from my window,
like the chance of me sleeping tonight.
4 Giant like my eyes
and my awe
and my excitement.
