Such a feelings coming over me <br />There is wonder in most everything I see <br />Not a cloud in the sky <br />Got the sun in my eyes <br />And I wont be surprised if its a dream...(The Carpenters) <br /> <br />The last explorer on earth has died. <br />Sir Edmund Hillary (I hate the word Hillary 'Clinton') is resting in heaven, <br />Being the first person to climb to the summit of Mt. Everest, <br />He was on the top of the world, <br />Much like Neil Armstrong and Apollo Eleven. <br />He was a meek beekeeper who the world by storm, <br />When he had accomplished the feat, <br />frostbitely cold never warm. <br />To go where no man has gone before, <br />like Captain Kirk said, <br />Not too many make it alive, <br /> too many have tried and they became dead. <br />So kudos to you Sir Hillary (I hate the sound of the word) <br />-you will be remembered. <br /> <br />(1-10-2008)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/top-of-the-world-dedicated-to-sir-edmund-hillary/
