Poem for her 938

Car Trip

It was only 12 minutes away

Yet it was across two other states

We stopped in each state

We took pictuures

We walked

We talked

We kissed

We drove a bit more

Repeated the happy stop again 

And again

There in the long away place

We camped in a friend's cabin

And painted some canvases 

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 937

Car Ride

The car was packed

The ride would be long

Very long

12 miles

I laughed as I told her how far we were going

The cards were on the table

Shuffled and ready

So we started to play

Why go anywhere just yet

We wanted to finish the game we started

Before we packed the car

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.
