She glows like the sun and shimmers in the heat
my little run-about that can’t quite make the hills
and I change, change again, will it with my mind,
but only passion moves it to reach the other side.

She’s a baby on the road maybe like my inner soul
and succumbs to the dominant, forceful, four-by-fours
but vibrant like the sun rising/setting without rest
she joins her heart to sky and pretends that she can fly.

I too can pretend though I suffer in the end
and too I can fly though only in my mind
but together she and I will ride a bumpy road
and maybe if I’m lucky she’ll show me how to love her.

But it’s only a machine like a human being
new at first, growing old, chewing up the miles,
till finally it’s time, time to say goodbye,
to all it could have been if it hadn’t hugged the road.

“Sunshine” is her name and we will reach the sky
if all the changes needed happen smoothly up the hills
but only if I love her will I ever truly fly!!

Yes, but wouldn't it be great just to glide through life smoothly without having to change and change again?
