A Country Road Poem by Randy McClave

Life is like driving on a country road
You don't know what ahead might hold,
There might be a fallen tree or a bridge out ahead
Or in the middle of the road a possum might lay dead.
Like in life you know not what or who you might meet
Or what is at the end of the street,
So, you must always be ready and prepared
Up ahead maybe it's you that's needing repaired.
There might be a family of ducks walking in your path
Or maybe in the pothole a bird is taking a bath,
Maybe you see a squirrel preparing to climb
Remember, to always look and examine and take your time.
There might be a deer preparing to jump in front of you
So, you must keep your eyes and thoughts on that view,
Always look forward to watch out for that deer
But, stop watching it when it's in your rearview mirror.
