Westward Ho! And North to Alaska! | |

Westward
Ho! ~ To crisp spring days ~ Of open plain and sky Onward
Go! To mountains high Where
eagles fly ~ across the “Great Divide” A
toast to “Freedom of Spirit!” |

Westward
Ho! To California go! Where
lush green valley reaches ocean wide To
love, to laugh ~ side by side To
splash in salt sea water ~ mid white Sandy
beaches at ebb tide Then
north to Juno, and Prince William Sound Be
careful for Nature, that She may abound! To
a fishing village - make port of call White
billowing sails - as tall as a yawl! Break
bread with a stranger, and you’ll Make
a friend ~ Share with each your stories
An
adventure you’ll spend! |
|
|
|
Then
North to Alaska, and still greater heights Where
stars twinkle brightly Amid
Northern Lights With
skies all aglow ~ Pine trees all around Soft
fallen snow ~ Blankets the ground Breathe
deeply, breathe long ~ Look high And
look wide, Touch softly, touch gently ~ Together abide
