I Wonder Why
Nature has a vivid imagination, more so than any human. By venturing into unknown territory, discoveries will be made that tickle our imagination and enrich our minds.� On the frontier, you can once again see the world through the eyes of a child.
I wonder why the sky is up, and why the stars abound?
And why the Sun comes up each morn, and why the Earth goes �round?
I wonder what the Sun on Mars, would bring at dusk and dawn?
I wonder what two moons would say, from Earth lit sky when Sun is gone
I wonder if Mars mountain crags would be a sight to hold?
I wonder if I�d dare to climb, how could I be so bold!
I wonder when Man�s mind will grow, and cease to be so small
I wonder when we�ll venture forth, I hope before we fall
I wonder if we�ll never dare, to reach up through the sky
Forever doomed to live on Earth, and this,�I wonder why?
