Hello CRYSTALSKY*.                                                                                                                                

Thanks for consenting to watch over us.                                                   You recall that I requested that The Lord                                                                     
would have someone special to be our                                                                   guard and guide as I and my bride                                                                        travelled across country. You were                                                            the one that God chose to be with us.
          *********

O yes, SITRUC, I was delighted to come along.                                                                It was both a pleasure and a duty.
              ********* 

Because of you, CRYSTALSKY, the going was                                                  great all the way. Driving through six states,                                             we traversed some 2500 miles of real estate.                                            We drove during the day and slept in hotels each night.                                 
I tell you, some great friends gifted us with the hotel stays,                       and the accommodation was great. The weather was excellent,                             
and the roads were clear and dry. We could not have asked                            
for better. Yea, I remember a few hills and a lot of big rig                               
trucks, but I realize that's the way of the road. Yea, CRYSTALSKY,                  I well understood the plight of the truckers and did my best to    
accommodate their well-deserved right of way. They do deliver.
               *********

Absolutely, SITRUC.                                                                                                                                                     
By the way, were you pleased                                                                 with some of the stretches of                                                                    80 mile per hour speed limits?                               
              *********

O, CRYSTALSKY, I thought you'd never ask.                                                  I was very delighted about that and did not                                        
hesitate to drive the 80MPH limit.  It was the                                           
first time that I've seen such speed limits.                                                                                                                
             *********

SITRUC, I was also wondering about what                                                
you saw as the bad spots of your journey.                                  
             *********

Well, CRYSTALSKY, if I had to share some down sides,                                  it was the route through two of the major cities in Texas.                               I don't know why they built interstates to go right through                         the city. I suspect it is like this throughout the country.                            Why did they not build a real bypass around the major                            
cities so that if you were not going TO that city, you could                      
easily go right over the top or bottom and experience so much                  
less stress and traffic. If it wasn't for the new system of posting                  on the pavement, I don't think I would have been nearly as             
successful in navigating those cities.
               *********

SITRUC, perhaps we can continue                                                            this conversation later, but I do have                                                       one last question for now. What was                                                         
the most scenic and striking view of                                                       
your journey and how did it affect you?  
               *********

CRYSTALSKY, that is a great question,                                                      and I could write an entire poem about                                                    that subject alone. Coming out of a border area city,                                  we crossed into a New Mexico city.  We were awe-truck                               by the beautiful mountain range that looked as if it touched                       
the sky. The clouds seemed to hoover along the mountain top,                  and although I knew we were not approaching heaven, the scene              was heavenly.  The site was beautiful and inspiring, as if God had            
given it a special touch. Thank you, CRYSTALSKY, for helping                       
to guide and watch over us.
                 *********

No, SITRUC, thank you, for allowing                                                          
me to come along for the ride.

*The name CRYSTALSKY represents two people. A lady who received a tool box from my give-away pile and left a note with her name on it. She inspired me. Her name was CRYSTAL whom I never met.  SKY was a homeless man I met and rendered aid to him. SKY left an impression on me that I shall never forget.  Both CRYSTAL and SKY were instrumental in my preparation for the cross-country journey.  I honor them both through the use of their name in this 'conversational poem'.
