Year Of Jupiter



In the year of Jupiter,
the sun took a step back
and let its giant cousin
take the throne

It's the year of growth and expansion
of reaching for the stars and beyond
as they ventured forth into the unknown
and let their curiosity take the lead

The skies are alight with hope
as they all gazed at the gas giant
and marveled at its sheer size
a world unlike any other

But there was also a sense of awe
at the realization that
they are a tiny speck
in a vast and infinite universe

So, they celebrated the year of Jupiter
and all the possibilities it represented
they let themselves reach for their dreams
and push the boundaries of what they knew
