Cruising down life's highway,
Wind in her face,
Looking neither to the left or right,
Sun at her back
Coasting along,
Fast and smooth,
Cool...
Breaking for nothing...
Her mind flying.
Cruising down life's highway
Ignoring the detour signs
Warning
Pitfall ahead...and
Crashing into the gates of hell!
Dorothy (Alves) Holmes
