On This Day in American History - Director Steven Spielberg released his science-fiction classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. June 11, 1982.
Beneath the stars on a moonlit night, A spaceship's gleam, a wondrous sight. In a quiet town where dreams take flight, An alien lands, bathed in soft light. E.T. arrives, a stranger so small, With wrinkled skin and eyes that enthrall. He’s lost on Earth, no home to call, Yet finds a friend in Elliott’s hall. A boy alone, with dreams so grand, He takes E.T. by the hand. Through forests deep and skies so spanned, Together they forge a bond so unplanned. In a closet’s dark and secret space, E.T. hides, his heart in place. The bond they share, a warm embrace, An unspoken love, a saving grace. With glowing heart and fingers bright, E.T. heals, his touch so light. Against the odds, they stand to fight, To send him home, through the endless night. A bicycle lifts, in magic's air, Across the moon, a journey rare. Friends and hope, they bravely dare, A flight of dreams, beyond compare. E.T. phone home, the call is clear, To the stars, to loved ones near. In Elliott’s eyes, a single tear, For friends apart, yet always dear. Their story told, in silver light, Of courage bold and friendship’s might. E.T. and Elliott, through the night, In hearts they dwell, forever bright.
