Objects In Rearview Mirror Appear Closer Than They Are

I sit there and read the words as I'm sitting in the car. "Objects in rearview mirror appear closer than they are." I laugh to myself as I sit and reminisce. I close my eyes and think of a deeper meaning than this. "This," what I referring to is the days of my youth. I open my eyes; behold, a young boy I now see in the rear-view. It's me! Look how young and a bad little thing I was! Mama is chasing me with the belt and whipping me like she's smelling blood. And oh what is this? I can now see grandma! She's cooking my favorite, beans and rice. She yells out, "Come and get it hon!" I smile to myself and say, "Oh how I do miss her! Because when she was alive we use to have so much fun." There is my cousin! With lampshades on our heads we use to play. "One day you will sit back and laugh at this," mama use to say. look at me jumping off the house! I use to think this was so much fun. I'm now saying to myself, "Oh my, I was a dangerous son of a gun." And there's the girl who stole my heart! She was truly my first love. She was so beautiful looking like an angel sent from above. There I am telling "yo mama jokes" with a bunch of my friends. Drinking like a school of fish, it was the gin that made us sin! Now I see me much older now. I see me at my wedding. I was starting to make a family now and this was the perfect setting. My son is now born. He was such a beautiful boy. I to make changes in my life, because my family was now my joy. The joy, pain, achievements and failures in of my life is like turning the page. I sit back in amazement of how I've come of age. Again, looking in the rear-view but everything's gone as I sit here in this car. What a deeper meaning now, "Objects in rear-view mirror appear closer than they are".
