A Memorable Trip

I don’t remember where we went

but it was in my Oldsmobile 

we drove east from Kansas City

with no destination in mind

just cruised on the unfamiliar land

How young and free we were

looking for an adventure

searching for excitement

no clue of what to expect

no fear of getting lost

And as a novice driver

I turned the car into a country road 

Soon the wheels got stuck in the mire

in the middle of nowhere

as the day was turning dark

Unable to release the car from mud

you walked miles to find help

A kind stranger rescued us 

out of the trouble

who turned into our lifelong friend

We continued our road trip

feeling even bolder

and the experience

has brought us a memory

treasured always
