     When I was little I was told the only person that could stop me from touching the moon was myself. I believed that if I had the shoes and and the long legs to jump I couldn't reach it, I needed to have the will to jump. I believe that fully.

     I was ready to jump for the moon one day; I believed my legs could reach.

     To stretch up high. For me to stay no one would dare beseech

     I believed I could do it, I had hope in myself.

     Nothing could stop me, I needed no help.

     Though I could not understand, why I was pushed back.

     I hit the atmosphere, and had  a heart attack.

     The layer was hard to push through, I had to try again.

     I was able to barely pass it, with only some chest pain.

.

     Then I met a problem, I hit a shooting star.

     The star scorched my skin, and sent me back afar.

     I held my breathe, and continued to the moon.

     I hope I almost there, I need to get there soon.

     I met a meteor, it had a pretty streak of light.

     But I was in her way, and caused a giant fight.

     It did not end well between us, I was very glib.

     I ended up with a broken heart and a broken rib.

     I was about to give up, the moon seemed to big.

     I was just a little boy, no bigger than a twig.

     I had no idea what did it, but I continued with my dream.

     I started with a few steps, and the rest of the road was gleamed.

     I finally reached the moon, and smiled so big.

    I almost gave up because I was just a twig.

     But I touched the moon and passed outer space.

     I'd do it again, if I were graced.

     I had a dream, and it came true.

     I was hurt along the way, but I came through.

     I almost gave up, I was a chump.

     But I took the chance with a jump.
