How swiftly flies the blizzard in the eyes of change and thrill An adventure to be conquered, on her own in steadfast will In the linen cloth that covered every treasure of her worth Little Annalee beside her, giving courage wrapped in mirth On the fly beneath the gray sky, Katalina took the reins Gathered up the little princess, with conviction by the manes Thick and burly drove the oxen through the muddied trails of yore A single lantern split the shadows on her own, and not so sure By her side that sweet pup Livie, kept the navigation's true There accompany so sweet Annalee, such bright eyes so truly blue Into unknown territory, with no promise to be seen Rugged passage to the Promised Land, ventured on a faith thought lean In the distance sat a rider, on the fringe this Granger sat With the broader view so watchful, in a full two-gallon hat By the daylight, on they wearied, with the full wind in their face In the night watch, somewhat dreary, guardian eyes upon the place Was the Spring when a westward trek begun As wagons journeyed in the gold sun A woman, a girl, tall man in a hat The snow, in whirl, a dog and a small cat Her fears, a burden she kept close to her These miles they’ve trodden, desolate for sure Her eyes did tell him of worries to hide and now this stranger beside her will ride Will a woman, so small with child and dog complete the passage as breath falls in fog Alone in heart thought Granger guards them well Her fears. passions, are secrets not to tell. The wagon rolls upon a weary trek as stars above, a shimmering bright speck. Ever watchful friend his arm enfolds Woman, child, and all that wagon holds Copyright Magnus/ThisDiamond 2002 In the honor of friendship, truly a blessing to be thankful for.
