The beginning of this day,
Overwhelms me.
One more long drive,
Ahead of me.
The final payoff,
Unconditional love.
Up early to fill my lungs,
With cool Oklahoma air,
My mind wonders to you.
Your contagious laugh.
How the magical sound,
Must create a sparkle,
In a beauty’s eyes, without effort.
You make me smile as I reflect,
Easing me into my rewarding day.
You’re beside me as I drive,
Towards home,
All I’ve ever known.
Good morning,
I’m ready,
Let’s go.

It was a great trip. Weather was perfect and the Charger’s first trip out was AMAZING! Just laughter in general, Duke.

Are the roads mostly empty?

Empty after I pass through downtown Houston and get through Dallas. The concept of open roads is so true in the midwest.

That’d be nice to drive on an empty road!

It is nice…that’s a good time to test if the Charger can go 140. Proving fact or fiction.

Love this piece Audrey, makes me feel when I am off on a drive somewhere special…be it heading home or on an adventure, there is this idea of a reward out there and I get to enjoy it while I drive. Going home is special, as you say there is that final prize of unconditional love. Enjoy the time and have a good weekend.

Yes! The drive was perfect. I don’t think there is anything more fun than a road trip…maybe a spur of the moment road trip. I stopped along the way to take a few pictures. Can’t wait to write. I made it safely and have given many hugs already. It feels great to be home. All is good!! Thank you, Randall. 🙂
