Communication satellites high up in the sky
Helping us talk, as we wave bye-bye
Artificial satellites, floating with grace
Giving us information from outer space

Astronomical satellites, with eyes so keen
Studying the stars and what they mean
Weather satellites, watching the breeze
Telling us if it's going to rain or freeze

Orbit is where they travel around
Staying in line, without making a sound
Gravity is what keeps them in place
As they orbit at a steady pace

So next time you look up at the sky so blue
Remember these satellites, that are working for you!
