"I wonder," they all said, at least once. “What is out there for us when there is no more fighting between us?

What new roads will we find to travel and what new worlds will they take us too?

When rockets roar and ships flash-fast to points unknown to us now.

How many Humans will look back towards our small spot in the sky and whisper about the old rivers and valleys – lands crossed and conquered and conquered again?”

“I wonder,” they said as they looked around “if I’ll get to see all this as the stars see us now; so quiet and peaceful - floating in the endless night.”

“I wonder when I won’t have to wonder anymore.”
