Driving Nebraska-Journey Poem

Driving Nebraska

In spring the grass and flowers
Beginning to poke through. Snow melting
Streams running, birds returning, trees budding.

Grass grown tall, sun hanging tall and bright
Warming ever more, the Gaillardia blooms
in the road ditches with sunflower soon behind

As autumn comes Black-eyed Susan's finish their blooming
Retiring to brown, the crops harvested in, school resuming
Leaves falling and football, pumpkins and spice drift though the air

Old man winter comes howling in, dumping snow all around creating
A beautiful winter wonderland. The lights and decorations go up on
Every house, Church bells toll to gather us to celebrate Christ's birthday.

And the cycle continues season by season
As we drive through our great state!
Each of us on our own journey to a different
Result of life, no matter that result.

We travel the road together!
