Searching the Skies We delve into the universe As Hubble scouts the skies,
Seeking another Mother Earth
To gain the cosmic prize.
Within the realm of outer space,
A star shines in the cosmos
As mystic planets skirt the skies
In hopes of grandiose.
Hubble will search the galaxies
Around the solar mass,
And somewhere in the great beyond
The Hubble aims to pass.
Perhaps Hubble will pop its bubble
And give reason to cheer—
Another birth like Mother Earth
For a sparkling New Year! —Doris V. Neumann
