Writer of the Wilderness Three miners sat around their camp. The weather dismal, cold and damp. They realized their venture, bold, Had not resulted in the gold They'd dreamed about, back in the spring. Now the winds of autumn bring A vision of the winter here. If they're to last until next year, They need to build a cabin and Hunt for food to keep on hand. They hate to stop their daily chore, But know their need is something more Compelling, than their drive to share The gold they're sure is waiting there! So then to logging, they begin. One man went out to bring back in The staples necessary to See the Alaskan winter through. Once they were inside, looking out, With snow falling all about, They needed things to fill their time. One of them turning then to rhyme And wrote of their experience there. He didn't know, but that is where The true gold lay, for words are wealth And not injurious to your health! He'd found his calling, he could see, For famous he was meant to be! Betty Lou Hebert |
