The following poem was written in 1963 but would not be published until 1991
when I was honored a the Golden Poet for that year.
I use to sing it to my children and today they all remember it.
The words have never left my soul.
I WANT
By: Lana Hollenback
I want to walk where no one's walked
and play in valleys green
I want to climb high mountains I want to drink from the fountain I want to lay in your arms I can't find a place where no one has walked The mountain's to high And the fountains already I'll lay in your arms
and swim in clean streams
that never runs dry
and never ask why?
and the valleys are no longer green
the streams are not clean
run dry
But I just have to ask why
