Rain On the Interstate
It was a stressful drive
Up north I-seventy-five
The rain came pouring down
Water, water, all around
Semi-trucks carrying loads
Vie for places on road
I was in middle lane
Trying to remain sane
Suddenly, a cloud burst
In the gray, rainy mist
The car in front - me at rear
Seemed to disappear
The burst yielded splashes
Obliterated dash-
To keep one's facing nerve
Thankfully, there's no curve
All traveling at least sixty
Unable to drop to fifty
"I'm in trouble" thought aloud
Then, God quietened the cloud
The falling rain continued
I moved to outside lane
And did drive home safely
Thankful for my bravery
Such is life, we move along
Dreaming, singing our song
When a challenge comes our way
Then, "Dear God guide me today"
Now, I praise Him, my Protector,
Still feeling as unnerved victor
I pause to shudder and reflect
About His goodness to protect.
