I sit here on the shore My mind filled with lore Of the days long past The die had been cast Nothing I could do To change things for you I still have to wonder why You were so painfully shy When we were both young On a wish your dream hung It burned so bright Until that fateful night You used to be the quiet girl Who hid herself from the world Until you found your calling Into the arts you were falling Song, music, and dance Gave you many a chance To spread your wings and fly Reaching far up to the sky The angels knew you were blessed Passing each of life’s tests You had so much reason to live So much love still to give Then once rainy afternoon It all happened too soon Life was taken from you Nothing we could do As the truck moved on In an instant you were gone The driver had too many drinks At that point he couldn’t think When the light turned to red Through the intersection he sped Crashed right into your car Leaving us all with a scar I went to say good-bye Asking God why you had to die A life so full of promise and hope How would we ever cope? I know one thing for sure Alcohol is never the cure To this day I remember still The sweetness of your gentle will That last time I saw you there You told me I had talent to spare Never to forget that fact It was like our silent pact For today I carry on It’s been years since you’ve gone So long dear friend of mine In the heavens your star will shine As I place a rose on your grave In the distance an angel waves All writing comes |

LoneWolf this touches my heart so deeply because i had a good friend who died because of a drunk driver and this poem you've certainly captured it well,if only people would think before they drink and not get behind the wheel and try to drive.. |

Your heart of gold shines here my friend, It hurts to know that this sorrow has touched your life...but the friendship and beauty of her life touched you as well and that you shall always carry with you. Beautiful heartfelt writing~ |

You made me cry and touched my heart... your gift is wonderful, please share it often! Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

Said from the soul, my friend, I like to think that the path is cut short so that the next path is already blessed with their presence and they will be rewarded with their dreams..well done |

Watersign6: The loss of a life to a drunk driver is a terrible thing to go through. I hope by reading this, more people do think. Marge: Thank you. Tovi: When something like this happens, there are tons of emotions left behind. Thanks. BDC: Aw, thank you. This happened years ago to a good friend of mine. I was just thinking about where she would be today if this hadn't happened. Her friendship did touch me and I shall never forget it. Nice to see you around, by the way! azblond: Have a tissue for those tears. Stick around and you'll see plenty more from me. Logan: I like your take on this. I know she deserved many rewards and I know she is getting them now. Thanks! Temptress: Always sad, but I felt I needed to write this one. Hopefully someone will see the error of their ways. walker: Thanks! ethome: What a lovely reply! Thank you much! Aimster: She is in heaven and surely an angel. She had many talents in her short life. Perhaps she fulfilled her purpose here early and was called home to rest. One can only wonder. You take care too. Charisma: Aw, (((warm hugs back))). PV: Thank you much! Kathleen: It is an awful thing, sweetheart. She was the only daughter in her family. Very sorely missed throughout the years. Thank you, my friend, your words mean a lot to me. You know me, always from the heart. All writing comes |
