Along this road we go <br />these beautiful clouds and sky <br />the weather is grand <br />and the day is perfect, <br />dresses will be ours soon! <br />oh i can see it now, <br />yours will be so pretty! <br />what was that? <br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br />the car hit <br />one dead and gone <br />the hand of death reaches out again, <br />the hand of life clenched tightly <br />surrounding the other one <br />better late than never... <br />if only fate could be so much sweeter, <br />so on time and purposeful... <br />so comfortable. <br />but life like this, <br />it rarely ever is <br />so remember when you drink and drive, <br />another saturday afternoon <br />or another night at the bar, <br />or even just one... <br />you are not the only one <br />who's life will matter this night, <br />you are not the only one <br />to step out of their house tonight <br />so drive safe, drive sober, <br />don't help death grab another life. <br />it's not hard once you put your mind to it, <br />all you gotta do is <br />try. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />For Sweeney.<br /><br />David Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-saturday-afternoon/
