First Footsteps on the Moon
What a historic event
First Footsteps on the Moon
A rocket soared through the sky so bright,
Towards the stars, into the night.
With courage strong and hearts so bold,
A dream of ages now unfolds.
The moon was still, a world unknown,
Until one day, a man was shown.
He stepped upon its dusty ground,
And left his mark—no sound, no sound.
“That’s one small step,” his voice did say,
For mankind’s hope, a brighter day.
The Earth below, so far, so blue,
A miracle that felt so true.
A first for all, this giant leap,
A memory the world will keep.
For on that moon, so cold and gray,
The dream of all took flight that day.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Oh this was lovely. Very upbeat, I love the flow also your repetition of ‘no sound no sound’ your poem really brought that day back down to earth so that we too can experience what that man felt and saw again. We must all never forget that day, thank you for being a lovely reminder.
I have never read a poem about the first steps on the moon, and you did a a beautiful job capturing the awe of this incredible event.
