I'm Learning To Drive (Free verse) by amanda_dcosta

I’m sitting at the wheel. The rain clouds storm the heavens while the trees sway about, accompanying the drum beats of thunder. He’s there in my vehicle an observant understanding instructor, Watching my every move, eyes fixed on the road he commands… ‘Left indicator, brakes a little, clutch and first gear, move on slowly… there’s a hump ahead press the clutch and shift to two, accelerate a bit, if you’re confident, shift your gears to three and speed on’. And so I do. I shift to the fourth, speed away, ever confident that I know it all and forgets he’s there. The thrill of being in control envelops my senses. I’m transferred to a world of my own, till I come to a junction; the rain’s pouring down and I don’t know how to stop, when he suddenly presses the brakes.. and then I realize he’s got the controls on his side too, and I’m saved in the nick of time. Lord, how could I forget You’re in control of my life? I’m glad you are.

lol... but I'm glad that you didn't say that I wrote it that way.
