The Journey MAG
They say it’s all about the journey, I used to disagree.
Because I loved the destination but now I start to see
That when I finally get there, I think about the time
When we outsang the radio and thought we sounded fine.
The many fights that made Dad say, “I’ll turn this thing around!”
And how easy we’d make him laugh to calm him right back down.
The countless times we took a stop to stretch our legs were great,
Because space can get pretty tight when the car is packed with eight.
We all took turns to close our eyes and have a little nap
Or listen to whoever drives get lost and blame the map.
Oh how I love it in the car when we’re all having fun
So how I hate when we arrive and all of that is done.
Next to the pool, with earphones in, those times I can’t recall
But memories of getting there always do stand tall.
So Destination, here we are, but not as a family.
And as for me, I now agree, it’s all in the journey.

Nostalgia anyone? BEAUTIOUS! (that's my special word, I rarely use it) Usually I've got a whole mouthful of constructive criticism but this poem was just great. Blew me away, really.
Also, I'd love if I could have some people check out my work and comment; I would love some critiques on my own work. Thank you! :)
And to the author....hope you don't plan on quittin' writing any time soon, because you really do have talent.
I totally agree! Very beautiful, relatable, and powerful! Great use of imagry!
Please comment on some of my poetry!
very poetic
i love how the poem has symbolism but it can act as though it is literal.
great job
