Riding her tricycle <br />In the middle of the road <br />In a safety zone <br />That's what her parents were told <br />Happy as can be <br />Couldn't take the smile off her face <br />The innocence of a child <br />Still intact in her space <br />You come around the corner <br />Not looking ahead <br />Until your car feels a bump <br />And is splattered in red <br />You immediately jump out <br />Not knowing what to do <br />Her parents screaming <br />Hoping it wasn't true <br />As the ambulance races to the hospital <br />Taking her away <br />You sit in the back of a police car <br />Wondering what to say <br />As she makes it into surgery <br />You make it to the station <br />The police ask for your story <br />Growing more and more impatient <br />As you pull out your phone <br />The doctor looks at the screen <br />You show the police your text <br />The world feels a mother scream <br />Tears run down your face <br />The little girl is gone <br />Unintentionally you killed her <br />Because of driving and texting on your phone<br /><br />Tiffany Hill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unintended-driving-and-texting/
