There was once a child named Todd,
who had many posters in his room.
All of them had planets and galaxies,
along with constellations from outer space.
5 And in his room was a small telescope.
He used it to watch the stars at night.
He was watching the news one day,
sitting with his dad, right in front of the TV.
And the newsreader made an announcement.
10 There would be men landing on the moon.
Todd's eyes widened, and he shouted with joy.
He wanted to see this live, oh boy!
He asked his dad and mom,
"Could he invite his friends over?"
15 "Can we have a viewing party?" he asked.
"Yes. Why not?" they replied.
And he spent the day thinking how it must be
to step on the moon's face.
The day had finally arrived.
20 Apollo 11 standing straight as an arrow, pointed to the sky.
Little Todd and his best friends,
sat awe in front of the TV.
They watched the astronauts board the ship.
All of this they saw on the black-and-white screen.
25 The moment had finally come.
Then the countdown began.
"Liftoff! We have a liftoff!"
The newsreader shouted with joy.
Up the rocket went,
30 And so did Todd's dreams, oh boy!
Many years later, Todd ponders upon this scene.
He remembers why he became an astronomer.
Inspired by the men who bravely stepped on the moon,
Todd worked with passion,
35 And so made his dream a reality.
