Spaceship

From the time I was little, I loved Shel Silverstein.  I remember my mom reading stories out of A Light in the Attic to me and Tanner as she put us to bed in our bunkbed.  There has not been a time in my life in which I haven’t cried reading The Giving Tree.  I have grown to love writing in his style, and I want to share with you some of the poems that I have written.  I made it my New Year’s resolution to become an artist, so I have started sketching pictures to go along with my poems.  

If I had a spaceship,

I'd fly far away.

I'd sail past the moon,

Not knowing my way. 

If I had a spaceship,

I'd take you with me. 

We'd fly past the sun,

Oh the things we would see. 

If I had a spaceship,

But you couldn't roam. 

I'd sell that old spaceship,

Cause with you I'm home. 

I don't have a spaceship,

But I get to have you. 

I don't need a spaceship,

Because you make me fly too.
