~ Thanks For The Long Haul ~

You are just who we need
A solid strength we can trust,
As you know the skills to motor on
Steering clear of the dust.
 
You know when to put on the brakes
To shift and carry the load,
You've got great driving pace
Trucking straight along the road.
 
You're patient in throttling it
 To make the laboring incline,
But also know how to put on the skids
To maneuver the downward climb.
 
When a crossroad appears ahead
You deliberate which way to turn,
And as a new direction looms up
You know to clutch it, to avoid rubber burn.
 
Thanks for handling the wheel
Your performance is appreciated here
Avoiding potholes along the way
You know when to accelerate into top gear.
 
Some may drive off out of sight
Others may back up at the task
But you stay revving for the long haul
What more could we ask.
 
Thank you.... roll on big wheels
