Lug Nuts

Driving around near D.C.,
Discombobulated and distracted,
I thought how thankful I was
That my tires did not suddenly
Roll off. Thank God for his protection.

In a distant part of the state,
Phil dropped off two cows.
Stopped at a stop sign, a glint
And a clink caught his eye and his ear.
A lug nut went rolling past.

The shop that recently replaced two tires
Had not tightened the lug nuts enough.
One was missing. All others were loose.

This was not the day my husband died.
Thank God for his protection.
