Manifest destiny in our hearts
Across the plains we trek and start
Rugged terrain we must endure
Chasing dreams that we’re sure
Happiness awaits us in the west

Long Poems

Destined for the West

Determined pioneers moving onward
Eager hearts beating with excitement
Setting forth towards the unknown
Taking risks to achieve their dreams
In search of fertile land and wealth
Navigating through treacherous terrain
Exploring new horizons with hope
Daring to chase their destiny
Foraying to the land of the free
Opportunities waiting at every turn
Reaching towards the western gateway
The American Dream within their grasp
Yearning for a brighter tomorrow
