Funday Times - A Poem for the week

The first man in space

By Haala Marikar, Badiudheen Mahmudh Girls’ College, Kandy

April 12th was an honoured day,
When the sun smiled bright and shimmered the bay.
Bless him, the first man in space,
Who deserved lots and lots of praise.

Risking his life for curiosity of mankind,
But happy with hope of the facts he would find.
Away he set with Vostok One,
His faithful large companion.

May God forgive all his sins,
This is a tribute to his family and friends,
And as well a special tribute to him,
The one you’re familiar
with – Yuri Gagarin!
