She drives me home
when the night is dark
and the highways are slick
and teeming with
indestructible teenage drivers
lately
I have become anxious
driving in the fast lane
or on overpasses
or at night
and I am embarrassed
that I must ask her
to take the wheel
because I was brought up
to be the man
who takes care of everything
so as I take my place
in the passenger seat
I thank God for
this wonderful woman
who has seen this weakness and
still has not found me wanting
as we glide through the night
I watch her
calm and confident as she
negotiates every curve
and smoothly applies the brakes
and I silently marvel
at how beautiful and perfect she is
and I become aware of
my immense gratitude
because this highway would be
a cold and scary place without her
so I sit back
and relax and exhale
finally allowing someone
to take care of me
completely trusting her
with my life
as she drives us home.
