A lovely poem, LeeAnn. Road trips are perfect material for poetry, and you catch it so well with:

"And the present

became a past

we were always leaving

became a future

that passed too quickly to know."

Best Wishes from Australia - Dave :)

This poem is incredible LeeAnn! 💫 It’s not just a turn, or one line, or a stanza, it’s just got “it”…
