Together

For years I’ve loved the view.

From my corner,

I could see all of you.

Sitting there singing, laughing,

talking

We were so in sync, always together.

I have always felt safe

Backseat, right passenger,

Where you are privy to pulse of the car.

I could concentrate on us, the coversation,

And who we would be upon reaching our

destination.

You were always at the wheel, Mom

By your side, I the chief navigator and peacekeeper, and Penny the forever child.

We rode this way for so long,

I felt so safe.

Time has passed and the roles have changed.

I drive alone now.

I remember when were together.
