One More Mountain Pass
I sat two hours on a mountain pass,
Waiting for an accident to be cleared,
Admiring the tall pines, red earth and hills,
Watching parents with small children
Head for the bushes for potty breaks.
I made it to Mesa, Arizona to retrieve Hubby.
After a week-long visit with our kids
And fifteen to twenty games of Canasta,
We had that one mountain pass to go.
So we loaded up the car, left about 9.
The trip was uneventful, thank God.
We got into Cortez about six.
I napped from seven to nine in my bed.
When I woke up, I wasn’t sure where I was.
I saw my luggage and remembered coming home.
