Driving With You In The Evening Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

When I went to sleep last evening
My day was made complete
By the fragrance of your perfume
And your complexion sweet.

Though my body was exhausted,
My mind raced with many thoughts.
So, I lay there reminiscing Love
Like counting highway dots.

I thought of the miles traveled,
Together, just me and you,
Of the many wonders witnessed
From a panoramic windshield view.

We've gazed from scenic lookouts,
Spontaneously parked along the way.
At times we caught fleeting glances,
Of life in the rearview, fading fast away.

Those memories were like billboards
Causing sweet thoughts of us to revive,
As road signs or mile markers
Pointed out the next mile to drive.

Life has been like driver's ed
With new lessons every day,
Teaching us the love and commitment
Needed to drive on life's highway.

Yes, it's been a long road, dear
But wow... what a wonderful ride!
And, if God permits, I'll keep riding
With you ever by my side.
