It Seemed Like a Dream

The truck came out of nowhere and broadsided his car
Judy's head hit the window
She began bleeding from the blow
other cars started skidding in the snow

It was awful
these situations were  NEVER ODD OR EVEN
It  Seemed  Like A  Dream
And everything appeared  to be going slow

"Safety Doesn't Happen By Accident"
They were actually on their way to Canada to visit friends
Now it was Stares, Dares, Scares, Fears and Tears
They heard the ambulance

And in the 'Hazy Shade Of Winter'
They were Quickly taken to the hospital, to Speedily
 Commence their treatment and Begin to heal, for a fresh Start, a Birth, a
New beginning

They were Happy to be alive, and tears welled up in their Eyes
Emotionally drained and 'Running On Empty'
Although sometimes appearing to be in a trance
Judy felt better 'Next Morning When She Awoke'...

An accident in a dream is not as expensive as real life; either way they are a scarey disaster. You make it all feel so real. All the best in the contest Joseph.

Accidents are awful - I like how you have them seeing it as a fresh start, when it can be so depressing, espcially if you're injured. good luck in the contest :)
