As you drive across our country <br />So many things you can see <br />That set your heart racing <br />Touching your feelings tenderly <br /> <br />Old filling stations abandoned <br />Their use no longer there <br />But the memories for someone <br />Will always bring a tear <br /> <br />Gentle homesteads once held <br />A family with several children <br />The bible waiting to read <br />After all the chores they’d tend <br /> <br />But time marched on, of course <br />New fancy service stations <br />To fill modern vehicles <br />Oh, such wonderful creations <br /> <br />And now you’ll see something <br />In the clear bright blue skies <br />White streaks called vapor trails <br />Always a mystery to our eyes <br /> <br />The modern airplane too we know <br />Is always exciting for us to see <br />All this I enjoy as I continue <br />To drive across our amazing country!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/driving-across-country/
