In honor of the seven brave souls who lost their lives on the Space Shuttle Columbia on February 1, 2003.

Remember Columbia
2/1/03

Seven Souls

Seven souls in the morning sun went soaring through the sky

Unaware that on this day they were about to die

For some it was a life long dream that had at last come true

They were doctors, pilots, scientists, each with a job to do

Each one brought a unique talent to this courageous band

These seven chose to risk their lives for the benefit of man

In horror we viewed a spiral of white against a sky of blue

With numbness we said a prayer for this noble crew

As these seven gallant astronauts went sailing through space

They left the surly bonds of earth and met God face to face
