Galactic pebbles

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away......

It started as a pebble floating uppon the cosmic stream,

and soon became a rock which was struck by a cosmic beam.

the rock was hurled across the void collecting fragments as it passed,

and soon became an asteroid and it's size was growing fast!

passing through the atmosphere of a burnt out dormant star,

and crashing through debris of forgotten galactic wars.

on and on it made its way out beyond the great divide,

melding with the wonders of its universal ride.

past the rings of saturn its speed was fading fast,

it's final pass was mars and the pebble stoped at last.

its journey started small but in the end it grew,

for it became the planet Earth and home to me and you!
