The drive,
The distractions,
The fears,
The tears,
Unknown destination,
Mom bringing us here…
A surprise says she,
But not knowing, we
Whimper, whine,
Find reasons to cry and complain.
Still she goes on,
We reach the end
And find she was right,
A wonderful treat,
We just couldn’t see.

The journey,
The distractions,
The fears,
The tears,
Uncertain destination,
You’re taking me there…
Promises of love and
Promises of grace,
All I can hold on to
On the way to that place.
Still, I find reasons to cry and complain;
Still You go on…we will reach the end
And I will find You were right…
Wait and see…
A wonderful place just waiting for me!
