laughing as only children can

Remembering childhood happy car rides

The three of us sitting in the back seat

Our mother driving the back country road

With its familiar dips and humps


Pleading with her to go faster

As we went up and over the rises

Until she would indulge our request

To give us the feeling of being airborne


I can hear us laughing as only children can

Calling out in unison "Thank you Mom!"

During our brief moment of weightlesness

Imploring her to do it again and again


There were no seatbelts in that car

Something like seventy years ago

When she named those silly bumps in the road

After our joyful cries as thankyoumoms


I was always glad to be in the car with her

No matter where we were going

For the chance to ask her anything 

And perhaps enjoy a bit of playful fun
