Very descriptive and scary when speed limits are not followed luv.. they are strictly enforced in N.J. and now living in Pittsburgh see the same thing ... especially bridges which are so weak at this point as proved on TV nationwide...luv.. a great awareness poem my friend..with luv..

Good afternoon Sara. The weekend and half this week are gone and this is the first I have had a chance to read. Had so much drama in my life. Really feeling good reading poetry today. Glad yours was among them. Love, Carol

Sorry, I just saw your note at the bottom. I suspected you had lived (and were lucky to "live") through this event.

It sounds like this is based on personal experience, maybe a childhood memory? If this happened to any of us, we might develop a fear of driving at night. Very interesting rhyme scheme, too. Love, Carolyn

Oh dear, Sara...I hope this isn't a true account of something so terrible. Indeed this would be a bridge to fear after an experience such as this. ~ Carrie

When I was three years old, I was in the back of the car as we were going to church...Two drunk drivers were driving one pushing the other...The car being pushed crossed the center line crashing into our car..My father had gone over as far as he could to try to avoid being hit..My mother had a severe cut to her knee and some facial laserations...I was thrown into the back of the front seat with a terrible blow..It could have been so much worse.This was at the end of crossing a bridge.Sara
