Clinging to the wheel

December 2, 2008

The plether on my legs,

Cold and icy;

I clung to the wheel

For a four year old driving is not easy.


We drove until night,

Poured over the summer sky;

Moms driving style

Could not steer itself.


I grabbed the wheel

She lets go;

Every turn I missed

She would regret letting me go.



You set me straight

Not a road made of dirt,

Then back to the store we went,

Still clinging to the wheel.

it is one of my first memories. but it is also a symbol about my mother and my life. and how hard it is for her to let me go.
