OUR FIRST ROAD TRIP

               


    I've not been one
        to tell you how to drive.
            It's your car, your gas.
                I'm here for the ride.
        Right now,
            it's up to you
                when we arrive.
    But this is what I'm seeing
        from my side.
    When fearing that
        we're moving way too fast,
            you panic,
                citing doubts and finding fault,
                    as somehow, something here
                        reflects the past
                            which brings our journey
                                to a grinding halt.
    I don't expect
        you'll trust me with the wheel.
            Not asking!
                You can navigate this maze.
    And though I cannot change
        the way you feel,
            I'm here for you.
                You have my faith and praise.
        Believe me,
            objects in the rear-view mirror
                are more wonderful
                    than they appear.
