Tribute to Challenger
We salute the flag
in remembrance of you
The sacrifice made
so much for so many, from so few
You reached for the stars
and showed us the way
You gave us hope
for a new day
No obstacle too big
no boundary to bind
Journey to the future
in Peace
all humankind
But now in the aftermath
we grieve of your loss
And we cry to ourselves
'such a high cost'
Through your dedication, your determination
and knowing what you risked
We'll look to tomorrow
and continue our quest
This
is our tribute to you

Those who touched the face of GOD,
may you go in PEACE.
