Through the Mountain Parks

If you wish to commune with nature,
And enjoy the environs on western life,
Got out on the Golden road to Lookout
Away from the city and its strife.
On through Genese Park entrancing,
‘Twas in the Early Days

by Susie Kerin
In the days when Colorado
Was like a growing child,
Fair and strong in hope and promise,
On brave men she often smiled,
Who came to seek their fortunes
In the mines, and diverse ways,
When adventure was in flower
To them “‘Twas in the early days.”
The Pioneers of Colorado
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008The Pioneers of Colorado
by Susie Kerin
What visions led the pioneers,
With hearts of courage strong,
To leave their home and kindred
And migrate with the throng,
Who went in quest of fortune
On the plains still fast asleep,
And the mountains mute and silent,
Guarding well their treasure’s deep?
