I Will Drive

 

  

I’ve been running on empty

But still I float on

Despite the fact my resilience

Has gone dry.

That is when I need to rely on

The advice of my family

And help from loved ones

To help fuel my drive

That keeps the miles

Moving beneath my feet.

Just like a vehicle

There are many parts

That gives me power.

One day I know

My engine must cease,

But as long as

God fires me up

I will drive on

With a little help

From my wholes.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, there's total truth to the whole 'wind beneath my wings' thing.
I have been very low at a much lower point than pretty much everyone I personally know. If the people who loved me had given up on me, I'd be dead. So yeah... Drive on buddy, drive on. The road is long.
Really liked this and all it says.

Just as long as you don't give up on yourself, thank you very much... really glad you liked this.

Sometimes just a word of encouragement fills our tank.. nice write bro..hits on the many points of support !

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thanks again sis... and there is no great support than our writing family.

[Renée]

Agreed.. little bro ( ;

[J. Sturgill]

Everyone needs that support system. Someone to talk with. Great poem.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes we all do... thank you.

[Kenneth The Poet]

I think the medium of poetry gives the best insight into the human thought process. You voice what many think and believe as they did then and as they do now. Quite the inspirational read.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You encouraging works are much appreciated.

[Wicahpi]

Amen! The support of God & Family must be of great importance. Those who lack one or the other, and sometimes, both, truly do suffer. I like this write; love the analogy. Nice ride in the photo!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much.

[Lyn Anderson]

Nice play on words and well written.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much.

This is true. Life itself is a journey. We are the drivers of our own lives. We need to obey the rules (God's words) if we want to have a nice driving/journey.
Relevant and outstanding piece this morning. Keep it up, sir!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much... a nice interpretation of my work.

I have never been a car guy, but I do understand the thrill of a machine doing what it was created to do and doing it well. We are not much different I think. Is not the old machine you must tinker with the most loved?
I hope you do feel loved and supported. You are never alone. You are never outside the care of your Creator!
My the Spirit fill you today and always Dale.
