When I awoke this morning,
You were on my mind.
So, I cruised back in time, Love,
Drove slowly from rewind.
I recalled how we first entered
On this road of life,
Just two love-struck kids,
Who became this man and wife.
Memories became road signs,
Flashing through my head,
One showed where I met you,
Another, the day we wed.
I saw careless wrong turns,
Destinations never made,
Warnings of hazardous weather,
Slowing us to uphill grade.
There were times we both questioned,
And threatened a U-turn.
Instead, we put our foot to the gas,
And let the rubber burn.
Since, there have been blind curves
And speed bumps to slow the way,
Frustrating detours and pit stops,
As we journeyed day by day.
But no matter how long, dear,
On our road we get to ride,
I will enjoy the drive better
With you here by my side.
Dedicated to my wife on July 2009
