Never Forget

Snow capped mountains almost reaching up to the Colorado sky Colts and fillies grazing down below with their mothers nearby There in the meadow the Cheyenne say Is where the sun and earth come to talk each day They talk of things that use to be And of a brave people they no longer see Could this be really paradise Or only seen through this one's eyes A lone wolf cries out in the night While I sit quietly by the fireside Watching the flames dancing through the wood Where campfires long ago once stood Proud and brave these people were then Their only crime was to love the land they tried to defend Herded like cattle so far away What crime was so great that for this they had to pay I slowly drift off to sleep With tears falling down my cheeks My only wish and this I pray That we respect the land as did they
