This Poem I Wrote


Searching


The Spaniards came looking for gold and for treasure

To bring their kings mountains and mountains of pleasure.


Others came to spread Catholicism,

And places they went, it grew some.


Some French came for a lot of the same reasons,

They found animals to trap in all different seasons.


Others came searching for the Northwest Passage,

And found people and weather can be rather savage.


The pilgrims were looking for a place for free worship,

And what they found, was a place, far from Europe-

A place to live with their children and wives,

Here, where freedom thrives.
