Pretend you’re not camping out <br />Pretend it’s your way of life <br />Your home is the wilderness now <br />Along with two kids and a wife <br /> <br />Your world is filled with enemies <br />From the Indians to disease <br />You must live totally off the land <br />Your worries just never cease <br /> <br />The wagon train is your family too <br />Your destination is facing west <br />A life of excitement and dreams <br />The demons are now your quest <br /> <br />You forge the rivers of the future <br />You are strong and resilient and brave <br />You are paving the way for your children <br />And their lives you now must save <br /> <br />Food is scarce and you pray that <br />You make it to the next treasured fort <br />For this is where the people before you <br />Blazed the trail of an uncertain sort <br /> <br />But of course it’s all a game <br />And you don’t really have to fret <br />For you have your precious life <br />But you will never, ever forget!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ll-never-forget-2/
