Far Far Away
The Pleiades is far far away but, how far away is it to simply walk down the street and help a neighbor in need
The Spiral Nebula is far far away and so so faint but how far away is it to a mail box with which to send a check for a worthy cause
The star, Alpha Centauri, is far far away yet how far away is it to your cell phone with which to text, one, someone who has no ray of sunlight because they’re all alone
The Milky Way is far far away, a faint ribbon in the sky yet, how far away from a tree is it with which to tie a yellow ribbon around it
The Moon is far far away yet so, so close that it can brighten up a dark night sky so, how far away is It and, how far away in thought are we from bright ideas that can help us, one and all
