A car passed by
Looked like your dad’s
More status, less grill
I’m sure you drive one new
That white hearse he gave
As he pushed your life
I imagine future passengers
As you peer down the road
Your throne a higher seat
In a new but familiar place
I’m turning my neck to see
Then back at my path ahead
I shed a tear when reminded
You travel with another
Still I’m surrounded, accepted, loved
By followers who venture the same way
My prayer is answered
I progress solo, seeing doors open
Witnessing my words unfold
Holding your belief in me, thankful
Don’t forget our road trip
And how the highways here
Intertwine, so many possibilities
Even for a new car on a different route
We intersect on our great path
For we traveled together
And will pass time to time
A kind face pairs with a friendly wave
Perhaps a stop for fuel
Opens our tanks to renew
Dunk in coffee, our pick me up
To find our young faces reminiscing
We raise our gaze to each other
Meeting longing eyes that never changed
The loyal brown loves yet and admires
The big heart of his understanding angel
