This playful poem explores the vastness of the universe and the even greater journey of forgiveness. Written in anapestic meter, it tells the story of a boy and his time-traveling spaceship as he searches the future for his lost friend. Along the way, the boy encounters breathtaking cosmic phenomena, but it’s the emotional lesson of making amends that brings the story full circle. Inspired by the wonder of childhood, this work reflects the power of storytelling to blend imagination and heart.

A BOY AND HIS SPACE-TRAVELLING TIMESHIP

A little boy with a big space-traveling timeship,
Combing through the future to find his friend Pipp.

The ship is racing, but his heart beats faster, still.
Luna has cities now, but ends up a landfill.

“Wow, Mars gets rings, too” - 50 million years from now,
But the boy doesn’t stop to look; he did make a vow.

The only thing of Pipp’s on his ship today, a
Toy that he took from him - it’s why his friend ran away.

“Has anyone seen my friend? I hope he’s alright.”
Earth’s oceans evaporate, the Sun is so bright!

Milkdromeda, in 5 billion years or so, is
Too big of a hiding place - “Oh, where did Pipp go?”

Stars redden in trillions of years; first, our Sun grows.
The boy passes Earth, and it’s toasted, I suppose.

“Did Pipp hide maybe, under the stars’ waning rays?”
The little boy dreams his friend isn’t angry and stays.

With just darkness ahead and no sky left starry,
The only choice he has left is to go back and say sorry.

Boy hurries to the past, to his friend to hug tight,
Give back him his toy; both smile and then they’re alright.

A BOY AND HIS SHIP
