poem about finding meaning
The railroad spans from coast to coast,
I raised my glass and gave a toast.
Escaped my newly constructed being,
hopped that train to go sight seeing.

I saw the great plains and mountains tall,
Life's constrictions I avoided them all.
I left my wife for reasons still unknown,
and the open road became my home.

They tell you to go to college and get a career,
Drifting through this world I still can't steer.
One day I'll stop and settle down,
and this big old world I'll go around.
