Freeways, Highways, Roadways, Pathways and Anyways















I’ve explored so many roadways,
Leading from points A to B and C…
To schools, jobs and home again,
The tar and asphalt set me free.

My hometown built a freeway,
Destinations welcomed us much faster.
We never saw downtown again,
Or a dairy farm or pasture.

Sometimes the freeway connections,
Were linked by old highways…
They led us through towns forgotten,
Now decaying since glory days.

The best rewards of travel,
I have found on remote paths…
Ocean views and mountain air,
Are the memories that last.

Along the routes I've traveled,
Towards old age from my youth…
Every intersection I've encountered,
Provided undiscovered truths.
