Kindred spirits, they shared the same longing
A desire to be free and travel the world unencumbered
The open road was their map as they began a journey
meant to chase opportunities and follow dreams
An epic written one mile at a time
Slipping behind the wheel, he turned the keys
one that brought the engine to life
one that brought life to his restless soul
one that locked them together on an endless joyride
Chasing adventure, following hope
A love story lived one mile at a time
Settling in beside his side, she buckled in
Securing her place in the fast car
Securing his restless soul to hers
Securing a future they’d create together
Chasing destiny, following fate
A romance lived one mile at a time
That open road, filled with hills and valleys
and hairpin turns that caught their breath
was laden with mementos of a life lived with purpose
A shared exploration of true partnership
Finding serenity, embracing vows
A marriage lived one mile at a time

Writing and Reflections 
I like the refrain ” one mile at a time ” and I hope for you and all others that one mile at a time made up endless miles of a life that visited many destinations like love/purpose/vows…..a poem to read at the end of a day/end of a season/end of our journey.
