The Oregon Trail by R. Steven Reynolds Long trains of wagons moving west Down from the high snowy peaks Families each on their own quest Stress of weeks staining their cheeks Sol blazing over the arid scrubland Dust splashing at each movement Bones and wagons across the sand Creaking westward to resettlement A hazy purple and orange skyline Reflecting in hopeful eyes of all Longing for that tall Oregon pine That makes a man feel so small For now jackrabbits and snakes Only watch these migrant trains Leaving behind only dusty wakes Hoping the gains are worth the pains My ancestors traversed that trail They survived their westerly quest And now I pen this their happy tale Long trains of wagons moving west
