That ole dirt road
Remember the one you walked down...
that was hot during the summer
really cold during the winter
the one that was
too long
too short
how good it felt to walk it alone
and lonely it could make you feel
the one that heard you sing your favorite songs
and heard you cry after you fell
the one when you walked with
your sister, brother..cousin or friend
you heard each other jokes
and secrets
the one where you had foot races & bike
races
running with the tumbleweeds during a wind storm
or away from them
stopping to pick the weed flowers to give
to your mom or grandmother
playing hide and seek
and Tag
how the early morning sun made it feel cold
or how a spring moon would brighten it up
at night
the smell after a rain fall
or the sound of the snow crunching under
your feet as you walked
the road that led you away from home
and back
the one that knows your shadow
it may have changed,
but it's still there
waiting
