Paul Riggins
Note: this poem was inspired by the words heard in a song by Dave Stamey called A Song for Jake.
Catch a dream and ride it deep into the desert
Ride it like you own it
Ride it like you know it
Ride it and never look back
Keep your eyes on the horizon
Keep your heart free
Keep your eyes on the path
Let the tears turn to smiles
Let the time turn to miles
Let the memories lift you up
Your dream will take you far
Your dream will take you away
Your dream will take you home
Keep riding it until it arrives
Keep believing until you become it
Keep pushing into the clouds
Let your heart show the way
Let your visions carry on
Let your knowing be the trail
Keep your dream moving forward
Keep your heart in the center
Keep riding until forever
Ride it until it becomes you
Ride it on and on and on
Ride it into the sunset
