~It's Just Sad~ The birds are chirping gaily church bells are merrily tolling bride's walking down the aisle her husband at shoulder She's laughing at a joke her friend told her 2 days before pouring wine into a crystal goblet cutting the cake with her husband dancing round and round, spinning here head off A wedding day's one of the most important days to us It's always happy and full of joy Every one of your relatives is there and you have your husband But what can happen when it's all over is the worst part of life cause when this new couple walked to their limo in the rain they got a phone call. On the other end was a doctor he asked the bride, "Are you Anne McCory?" "Yes, of course I am. What's wrong? Why are you calling me?" "We've got some bad news about your mother." the doctor replied. "What?" the bride whispered, her hand trembling. "On her way home she got in an accident. Crashed into a flagpole on the sid eof the road." "O my God, is she ok?" "Well, I think she's having her last few breaths. If you come over here in time, you might be able to see for the last time." So the driver took them on a really fast ride to East Montgomery Hospital But when they got there, it was too late. The bride's mother was gone. "O my God, o my God. This can't be happening to me." She cried into her husband's shoulder, she just couldn't watch the body go by. So they left the hospital not knowing they would have to go right back. On the way home, the limo had some problems. It crashed into 2 cars, each on one side. The front was smashed into a lightpole, the sides crumpled and shredded. The ambulance came as fast as it could, but all who survived was the driver. "O my God, o my God." he said as he watched the bloddy bodies being rolled by. He looked at his limo, being hauled away, and just broke down and cried. Well, isn't it just so sad? The newly wed couple's day turned out so bad. Next time you read this, remember how lucky you were to live. |

While I am hoping that this is only a poem, and not based on a true event I getting the feeling that this tragedy did happen. I like to believe that things happen for a reason but such a philosophy is redundant in the face of such events. I am sorry if you knew the people in the accident. Sometimes life deals us a harsh hand. Thank you for the reminder of how fragile life is. a powerful poem. ------------------------ "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
