I

see

your

ancient

blinking

light and feel

you watch me too; as once you winked at dinosaurs and Henry

Tudor too. I hope that in a hundred years a boy will voice

the thought: “that star once shone on Alice Hughes,

the famous astronaut.” By then I will have been to

Mars, and through the Milky Way. I will have zapped

an alien and blown small moons away. I’ll travel through

the universe and all the world will see, they’ll never find

an astronaut

who knows

the stars

like

me

!

    Does Alice want to be an astronaut?! I really like this poem, and its star shape! xx

  2. Paul Hughes Says:

    No, she hasn’t expressed an interest as of yet. She likes Twinke, twinkle, little star and enjoys looking at the moon but she hasn’t yet tried on a space-suit.
