Your Seven Day Forecast

"It Finally Happened"

I'm not sure of how many years
but I know it was quite a few
I waited to go home again
to see friends and family too.
 
Now if it wasn't for a friend of mine
I'd still be on the waiting list
yes if he didn't volunteer to drive
then the trip I would have missed.
 
You can look around all you like
and you will never find
a friend to be more helpful
one that is so kind.
 
It was nearly a thousand miles
and that is just one way
yet I got to visit several
in what was a short stay.
 
Now he took the G. P. S. route
which many like a lot
yet you will find there are times
the best one it is not.
 
Coming back they sent us on a road
seemingly with no doubt
yet and after twenty miles you could read the sign
ahead the bridge is out.
 
Yet safe and sound we made the trip
thanks to the lord above
I am most grateful to my friend
for taking me to those I love.
