Great poem. Made me wonder... how long should a person go before asking for directions?... If you can check out my "I Don't See the Rain" I found an error in spelling - 2nd verse {directions) and the date should be 1492.(sorry)

This is a wonderful, and sweet little poem that does strike thought.
And in response to what David said?
They now have evidence that it was people from Asia, and even South America, they believe African's first made it there.
Odd little history fact...we used to debate it all the time in class.
lol, great poem

You make a great point about not being afraid to get lost.
There is, however, one major error in your history. Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492, not 1892.
And then, of course, there is also the argument that Christopher Columbus was not the first white person to discover America. A lot of people believe (with reliable evidence) that it was actually the Vikings.
In 1000 A. D. sailors from Norway called Vikings traveled from Iceland to Greenland. They were lead by Eric the Red. Eric the Red founded a colony on Greenland. Later his son, Leif Ericson, lead a group to Newfoundland in Canada. Unfortunately no maps were made of these travels. However in 1965 a Viking map dated 1440 was found. The Viking map showed parts of northeastern Canada.

Wow, good point. If Columbus hadn't accidentally found the Americas, most of us might not be here.
Good luck in my contest! ;)

Aside from some grammatical errors (I know you can't edit as of yet), this poem has a funny way of saying a truth. This country was founded by lost people! They did not know where to go or what to expect, but they made it. This is very inspirational and uplifting.
