Speed #2 Poetic Asides Challenge Nov 15

Teens and Fools

 

Thank You, Lord,

for keeping me safe

when I was a teen

and my boyfriend

commonly drove 110

on curvy PA roads

and 50 in small towns.

 

Thank You that I survived

my own stupidity

for enjoying speed

and trusting his driving.

 

Now I’ve slowed down

and trust you

to take care of me

while I drive the speed limit,

or, at least, thereabouts.
