I was thinking about the plans for a one-way trip to Mars.  I changed the setting, but here are my thoughts on it.

Enjoy!

Why we Go

A land that I have never seen,
Lies far beyond the sea.
My love I wonder would you come,
Explore that land with me.

I’ve heard that there are dragons there,
Who guard their troves of gold.
A waterfall a thousand feet,
Such wonders to behold.

No one’s returned or so they say,
That’s clearly not the case.
For if no one returned from there,
Who told us of that place?

There’s people there or so I’ve heard,
Like none we’ve ever seen.
And creatures strange and marvelous,
As any creature’s been.

The future here is limited,
You’ll be what you are now.
But come with me and you can grow,
And find yourself somehow.

A world we can call our own,
To build a brand new life.
A world unclaimed where life is free.
From all our daily strife.

So fly across the sea with me,
We’ll build a life anew.
There’s nothing there that we can’t face,
My love if I’m with you.

Cheers, Winston
