The Accident & Goodbye (Written May 10, 1995)

They did not watch the time go by
Until the sun did light the sky
The driver then slowly drove away
When we knew that they should stay

Carefully, eyes fixed, they went
Not knowing what had been sent
That would change the way
In which they would always stay

The driver did not see the truck
if he had, nothing would have gone amuck
But now they lie in the ground
Neither of them make a sound

Their stories over have been told
Memories forgotten as we grow old
For the semi which they hit
Never did budge a bit

The car in which they were
Was just a constant blur
And to them we have to say goodbye
Letting every spirit fly

To learn from them is all I ask
It is everyone person’s task
We hope you remember the event
That brought us into this horrid moment

(I believe that I wrote this in response to the death of a number of friends.  They had been partying, drove drunk and swerved head on into a semi truck)

I have many different hats that I wear. Throughout my life I have been many different things: a small business owner, problem solver, mother, friend, sister, writer, designer, employee, manager, consultant, gamer, leader and many more buzz words that I can't think of. Many of these I still do, but some I have let go to focus more on the here and now. I like to share my experiences, ideas and funny things I run across. Ask me something and I will provide an honest and likely unfiltered opinion. I am still learning about life, myself, relationships, parenting and well everything else. I am not superwoman and don't really have my life together, but I manage and am willing to share my tips and learnings. Writing for me can be cathartic and sharing makes us not feel so alone in this crazy, mess of a world we currently inhabit.
