The Santa Fe Trail

                                       The expanse is awe striking 
                                    Unhampered sun… moon… stars
                                        Wonderful yet frightening
                           The trail is rugged and emotionally magnetic
                                    Where money has no meaning
                                     Until we reach our destination
                         If a wheel spoke breaks in the middle of nowhere
	                               And this is nowhere to me
                                                 We must fix it
                                              The Santa Fe Trail
                                           Is all I ever hear about
                                                  Opportunity
                                                       West
                                             My family and me
                                      The 4 of us and all we own
                         Loaded in a wagon with 2 horses and a spare
                                          I don’t dare turn back
                                        We’re over halfway there
                         With the beckoning of a thousand sunsets
                                       Pointing the way to destiny
                                 Still the uncertainty is intimidating
                                              Thoughts about
                                                   Thieves
                                                Tribal bands
                                              Packs of wolves
                                         The ghosts in my head
                                 With one extra wagon wheel left
                                          And 900 miles to go
                                  I wipe sweat from my forehead
                            Pooled by the band of my trail worn hat
                               A nervous smile toward the children
                      Thinking that one day my journey will be a tale
                               Telling the story of a trip to California
                                       1743 on the Santa Fe Trail
