:heart: Across this country I drive, live and see.

Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Goergia, alabama, and Mississippi.

Chat with the many folks I have contact with each week.

Watching life styles and viewing their ideas some bold some meek

Feeling the class of some rich social elete.

Feeling a new mommy's love and waitressing all day on her feet.

Her name was Mary with a darling baby girl, her hair up in curl.

Proud pictures to show me, the pride in her face to see.

People all over doing their hustles,lol

Ways to make money without using their muscles.

Pan-handlers wanting change, to stories of sorrow and pain.

Some are just trying to stay living, through other people giving

Indian owned truck stops,trying to fit into American way co-ops.

All the hills up and down, and beautiful looking down thrills.

Valleys with homes looking as small as fleas.

This week I saw another driver lose his existance to horror.

His truck blew-up and melted down to ashes and not much more.

Knowing he died as I passed his smoldering inferno still ablazed

I think about his family and friends, their pains, me just dazed

The rush hour traffics everyone racing to try and die.

Many don't care to dive across four lanes, like a kid on a dare.

This road is my life, and my wanted and excepted strife.:wink:

I always worry about you when you are out there for the week as I have been on those roads and know how hypnotizing and entrancing they can be. The people for the most part amazing but there are those... we ya know the ones I'm talking about.

Nice write I love your POV on things!flowerforyou
