Country Roads

Leave a comment

Sun-drenched country roads bring flashbacks

of my childhood,

the Sunday drives,

ups, downs, and curves,

 

shrieks of laughter from the back seat

as Dad sped up

for “stomach” bumps,

taking our breath.

 

No seat belts then to keep us from

slipping, sliding

across the seat

with childhood joy.
