Lili was a lighthearted girl with a love for learning so grand, one night, she dreamed of floating in space, surrounded by stars, oh so grand. She built a rocket with her trusty teddy bear, Buzz, together they zoomed and zipped, past the moon and Mars.
They twirled past twinkling stars, swirled through the silence, and landed on a planet, giant and green, it was none other than Jupiter, the biggest one ever seen! With an echoey 'boom' and a 'whoosh' they jumped out to play, in Jupiter's gigantic gravity, they bounced and bopped all day.
They flew to Saturn with its shimmering rings, the 'zing' and 'zing' of the cosmic strings, they danced and they laughed with the friendly aliens there, they pranced and played with colorful creatures, beyond compare.
Finally, they landed on Earth, their home sweet home, the blue and green sphere, a place they'd always known. They thanked God for planets, stars, and all creation, promised to cherish and care for this celestial sensation.
