Heading Home/Poem/Bette Wolf Duncan

Home again. Back home again

to haunts we used to know.

They say you can't go back again.

I know that isn't so.

They say you can't go back again.

I know that isn't true.

Though you were buried long ago,

I'm heading home to you.

Home again, across the years

to trails we used to ride

across the Bighorn Mountains...

racing side by side.

Once again my heart rides back

across the trails of time;

to where the Big Sky smiles above

and snow peaked mountains climb.

I'm riding on those trails once more-

back home again with you.

They say you can't go back again.

I know that isn't true.
