The Long Journey

Taking the Scenic Route

By Fred BobbittPublished 9 years ago 1 min read
Dowdell's Knob, Warm Springs, Georgia, USA

Everyone takes his own route,

But we all arrive at the same destination:

The cold granite headboard awaits us all.

You might choose the expressway in the city,

Crowded and prone to accidents,

But I prefer the country life,

A 2 lane blacktop with scenic overlooks.

We're all going the same place:

I think I'll enjoy the view along the way.
