The Old Country Road

Once again driving down
this old country road,
     days gone by,
memories rolling back
     into my mind,
stories my grand dad
told me of this old
      country road.

Putting along in his
old roadster, stopping,
for gas 19 cents a gallon,
bring back those good ole days.

Hot day like this one,
bottle of coke only
5 cents, he throws down,

rolling hills, everywhere 
the eye can see,
trees reahing so high,
into the beautiful sky.

Him and I take all
of this in, to store
in our minds and heart,
as we depart this old
country road, I truly
cherish those memories
  of days long ago.

Such great memories you share with us through well crafted imagery. Thank you for your comments on my Angels piece as this was about my brother who died many years ago, so I understand. Be strong and keep writing my friend. Michael
