76. Heavenly

They say that Mercury is swift.
He flies around the sun.
The closest of the planets and
He is the smallest one.

Venus is a glorious sight,
Most beautiful of all.
She shines the brightest in our sky
A cloudy yellow ball.

Mars means war. He's red and hard.
He's in our thoughts forever.
He is closest to the Earth.
Our friend and foe together.

The mighty one is Jupiter.
He isn't one to bother.
The biggest and most powerful,
He is the all father.

Saturn spins trapped in rings 
Where ice and rock are found.
And all about him satellites,
His kids, are gathered 'round.

Uranus is on his side.
He's old and out of grace.
He's pushed away out of the light,
Sometimes forgetting his place.

The last of all the mighty powers
Neptune takes a bow.
And if you can't distinguish him,
His trident shows you how.

And then there's Pluto, banished now,
Forgotten by the others.
He is the farthest from the sun.
The darkest of the brothers.
