Memories of dad driving,

Mom, to keep kids calm, she was striving,

Lost in a snow storm, kids crying & scared,

Don’t worry dad would say, by God’s grace we will be spared…

Long trips in old cars,

Stopping off with dad at the bars,

Mom blurring all the pictures she took,

An unsteady hand, while riding she read a book…

Cruising along sightseeing in Canada,

Going too slow, told to speed up by a cop,

Dad got mad, blew the cop off the road,

Man that old Hemi Chrysler had a lot of go,

Never slowed down till to the border we got…
