To a Husband Who Must Seek the Stars

In your eyes the first glad token As when first our love we proved, So your mind to mine has spoken Just as if your lips had moved You are saying–yes, I know– That the lure of space beguiles You are pleading–"Let me go," Not unwilling, but with smiles. Can you love me, and still choose Whisbers that I cannot hear? Late to love, how can I bear to lose Content for some inconstant sphere? Tell me how you see my role– To stay, to wait, yet yearn to go. Where is the comfort for my soul You, my love, have helped me know: I'll be unafraid, undaunted. Yes, of course! I need not face Any peril; or be haunted By the hazards you embrace. I could have sought by wit or wile Your bright dream to dim. And yet If I'd swayed you with a smile My reward would be regret. So, for once, you shall not hear Of the tears. unbidden, welling; Or the nighttime stabs of fear These, this time, are not for telling Take my silence, though intended; Fill it with the joy you feel Take my courage, now pretended– You, my love, will make it real

–A poem written by Patricia Collins and given to her husband–astronaut Michael Collins–the night before the launch of Apollo 11

The rain comes down, the sun shines, grass grows, children grow old and die, that's the holy all of it. We all know it full well, but can't even whisper it.
