CAR RIDE
We sat in my Geo
With my heart a flutter
You a man, me a woman
Just like bread and butter
...red flag
We talked and talked
Confessions were made
Warnings whispered
I let them fade
...pink flag
We ate fast food
With conversation slow
Divine guidance led
Belief, I couldn't let go
...flag football
Wedding bells rang
The road invited dreams
The illusion accepted
Truth is not what it seems
...football games
Clutter accumulated
Cleaning collected
Memories made
A woman rejected
...games gutted
I left with my treasures
Children of my heart
A woman's shelter
Held our brand new start
...guts and glory
Beginnings are burdens
Endings never complete
Growth, the final proof
Fruit of labor, our receipt
...glory goes to GOD
