Oh, how I love to go back <br />A hundred years or more <br />When my ancestors lived <br />Reliving famous folklore <br /> <br />Tombstone tales I have heard <br />Almost gives me chills <br />As though I were back in time <br />Roaming those red dirt hills <br /> <br />Living in an old log cabin, perhaps <br />With teepees all around <br />Or sleeping in the open skies <br />With natures wild sounds <br /> <br />With a big ole’ pot of beans <br />Simmering on the fire <br />It’s a feeling that I doubt <br />That I would ever tire <br /> <br />If you want to try that kind of life <br />Back so many years ago <br />Go to Fort Reno, my friend <br />Where the past gently flows!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-trip-to-the-past/
