My Long Journey
Am I getting close? I bet IՉm not.
But I get to see a lot of animals,
Like moose, geese, mice, snakes, deer and so on.
But then I see a sign that says a city name-Beltrami.
I see two young kids who pick me up and put me back in the water.
I think I traveled 30 miles before the storm hit.
I was tossed up like water from a whaleՉs blowhole.
I saw a lot of bass in the river having a hard time traveling upstream from the storm.
I canՉt believe that I started at the beginning of the Sandhill River and got this far.
I thought it was going to be impossible.
Six months later
I see an opening in the horizon.
I think itՉs the mouth of Lake Winnipeg.
I have finally reached my goal.
Paddle to the Sea.
