Ramble and Roam

I used to ramble

I used to roam

I once did travel

Far from my home

So many sights

Inviting me

Now it’s all 

On tv

I walked all the way

From New York to L A

Crossed the mountains

On full display

Crossed the prairies

And the rivers too

I crossed this land

For something to do

I worked real hard

To earn my pay

To stay on the road

Everyday 

I saw icefields

Shipwrecks too

I crossed this land

Because it I could do

And now I sit

In my new home

I no longer ramble

I no longer roam

My way of travel

Is calling me

But I’m too old

For that to be
