Driving

"ashes ashes we all fall down"
i drove to my mom's house in central Mississippi yesterday
sometimes there is nothing better than rolling down the road
it clears the head
Jack went with me
he is a great travel dog
my mom has been having a rough go at it
she is getting on up there in years
i enjoyed the time with her
we ate tex-mex at a new place in her little town
it was very good, surprisingly good
as i was driving back i was simply thankful
i said a simple "thanks" to Jesus,
for my mother who has had a very tumultuous life
for the winter sunshine
for my dog
for the time to drive down the road
in this winter landscape of central and north Mississippi
