Voyage to Infinity--By George L. Ellison--England

Voyage to Infinity

A long, long distance you have travelled since your seventy seven launch !

Rocketing into the wide blue yonder thence to outer space

Clocking up all those space miles as you visited all the planets

Sending back your pictures of wonder and of awe

Continuing ever onward you descriptions ever more surprising

Our knowledge the more enlightened by your trek to the edge

Knowledgeable one

Off you go

Find your way

Your path laid out to the edge of our solar system

As you passed the outer planets Clear of the solar winds

Now in this year twenty thirteen sees you drift away with ease

With your job done for us back here on earth it’s time for you to take your leave

Beyond our system to the interstellar breeze

To voyage into infinity Go where your flight prevails

Travelling ever further May you someday tell our tale!

Searching space

Alone adrift

Pioneer thou art
