Driver's Seat


Driver's Seat
3/7/12

My life was like an RC car
Which other hands controlled
To drive some course, used well or ill,
And race to win them gold.

But I am not an RC car
To handle or control
My life: my course; not race or fight,
None else dictate my goal.

I may not take the route you'd take
Nor choose your sights to see
If, gypsy wander, so I seem
That, too, is my right to be.

For driver's seat I boldly claim -
I've OnStar with the Lord
And back-seat drivers mind your place -
I'll drive to my accord.

Share friendly smiles and honked 'hellos'
Post warning signs at need
But please respect my driver's seat
And I'll respect your tweed.
