There’s a wideness to the prairie that transcends the Kansas plain,
From Smoky Hill to Ninnescah, a vastness- heaven’s pane,
To allow a mortal man to view upon forever,
As he treads on blue-stemmed grass, from yesterday to ever,
The Kiowa hunt buffalo; on the trail to Sante Fe,
Fort Dodge’s soldiers on patrol, while cowboys seek their way,
Riding herd to Abilene, trail’s end- a night in jail,
Wild Bill Hickcock, Wyatt Earp, iron horse on doubled rail,
Open range, barbed wire fence, homesteaders, fields of grain,
There’s a wideness to the prairie that transcends the Kansas plain.
There’s a vastness to my journey that defies a man’s explain.
