Humanity’s Next step - on the edge of the nest
From time long forgotten, our sun, Sole and our Mother Earth have nurtured us. Now that we stand on the edge of the nest, we see clearly that our Mother is a member of a larger family. With childlike wonder, we view through our creations the worlds of our mother's family. From the virgin surface of Mars which has waited for countless millions of years, for us. In Passing To Glimpse the awesome cloud bands of Jupiter and to probe the cryogenic mystery of Titan, Then to arrive And see the rings, moons, and dragon storms of Saturn, that are larger than our minds can conceive. We are filled with Wonder and Fear, At a step, once taken, changes us Forever.
From the arms of our mothers, and on the shoulders of our fathers, we children must grow up, to take our places among the stars of our Mother Earth's family.
