Tooling Down the Jersey Shore

Tooling Down The Jersey Shore 

This is a love poem 
While tooling down the Jersey Shore 
Crooning tunes it often does 
And warming off the sunny chill 


It's a long time familiar trip 
But New today, made by an angel’s company 
Although not known right away 
The atmosphere began to show 

The road was rising up 
Carrying me in a cup of an angel’s hand 
So special, words are hard to find, 
Much less to say; I’m at a loss- 

But, not the highway, 
For it remembers me well 
All my dreams -all those years 
I rode on white wall wheels 

Turning out lonely dreams 
Rolling over discontented woes 
About exactly where to go- down the shore 
Alone to act as though, someone waited 

Now, today, close to Christmas day 
An angel rides along holds my hand 
An promises what I longed so long ago 
Someone’s heart waits for me 

… at the shoreline door.
