Silently hanging in the heavens

The attendant moons serve

As Jupiter does the bidding

And Galileo saw their wonder

Through the 'scope he named them

Pendant jewels adorn the cosmic giant

Long after man has left them

They remain in patient reverence

Around the mighty Solar God

The planets are a constant source of amazement to me, and I thought your poem brought home all the mystery.

Liked this very much.

Thank you.  Unfortunately the original was written minutes before and I 'clicked' on something and it dissapeared. I too love the planets and what is out there.
