*****To The Crew Of The Columbia*****

Where am I?
It's such, a beautiful day,
Mockingbirds are singing,
The Robins are strutting and bopping,
The scent, of wild flowers,
Are carried,
By the soft breeze,
Caressing my face,
Making all my senses,
feel lovingly into place,
I imagine, myself,
In a serene, comfortable area,
Everyone, shares a beautiful,
Expression, upon their faces,
Time has no concept,
To distinguish my presence,
Nor, how I arrived,
To this point of my being,
For reasons, unknown,
All within my sight,
Are known,
An attendant,
In pure linen white,
Excused himself,
Announcing, an emergency,
As the doors, slowly closed,
I over heard, a gentle voice,
On the other side,
Yell Roll Call,
1. Michael P. Anderson,
2. David M. Brown,
3. Kalpana Chawla,
4. Laurel B. Clark,
5. William C. McCool,
6. Rick D. Husband,
7. Ilan Ramon,
I knew then, My name,
Would soon, be added,
"Too."
