My Journey to God

Rocket for Sale

I rode a rocket into space.
I tried to see God face to face.

But I did not see God up there
until I said my bedtime prayer.

And God was where God’s always been.
So I rode right back home again.

And talked to God right here on Earth.
Do you know what a rocket’s worth?
