Que sera sera

Tonight I packed for a trip

I don’t know how long I will be gone

So packing was not easy

I looked at the weather report

Looks like treacherous roads

But I guess que será será

It it’s my time

So be it

If not I will see you again

So let’s just see

What happens

To me

I will either

Be back

Or not

Let’s just see

I don’t even care

What happens or not

Que será será

What will be

Will be

Love the poem, but hope you're not really leaving? this is a ten, by the way!

Your poem conveys such sadness. I hope everything is OK.

Your words are difficult to believe. Its easy to say que sera sera when we're actually feeling deep heartache. That's why the irony in this piece is so good. Excellent poem.

I made it in safely. We'll see how tomorrow goes. I did get my first time ever ticket, in 33 years of driving. I am still shaking! But the CHP was nice. He clocked me at 97 and only wrote me up for 80 because he saw I was upset and didn't mean to be going that fast and it was a rental that I am not familiar with.

But I am okay. We'll see what happens in the wee hours. Oh, it's snowing. I may go out in it. I have never been in falling snow!

Oh, and thank you all for the comments.

Linda...I think I am on the right path to making sure things will become okay and remain that way. Thank you so much for caring.

Marilyn...thank you for the 10.

Amanda...yeah, three times in less than that many weeks and I just did not care. It comes and goes.

David...too bad you didn't tell me to drive carefully earlier; might have saved me a big fat fine. But thank you. I will keep your words in mind as I move about in the car in the next few days up here.
