A thousand times I have traveled this road
driving cars, trucks, tractors.
On crisp fall days with wagons of corn and soybeans,
On cool spring days delivering meals or a thermos
and chasing escaping livestock.
A thousand times I have traveled this road
hauling toddlers on the back of a bike,
Riding beside my children, pulling them in wagons,
picking up acorns and fuzzy caterpillars
dodging earthworms and birds.
Walking and jogging, tripping and falling
teaching children and grandchildren how to drive.
A thousand times I have traveled this road
In heat and cold, rain and snow, and beautiful summer days
driving to doctors appointments and surgeries
picking up parts for broken machinery
heading to vacations or visits with friends.
Lives change but the road remains the same,
Leading me into the next phase.

Love this. I forgot about cattle getting out, and fuzzy caterpillars.
