Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

My Angels of the Freeway

I call them my angels of the freeway -

the three good Samaritans that I met.

Seeing me stranded, each stopped right away.

I call them my angels of the freeway.

Changing a tire for me, how kind were they!

Three times I’ve been rescued and I’ll not forget.

I call them my angels of the freeway -

the three good Samaritans that I met.

Connie Marcum Wong December 11, 2017 at 12:41 AM I liked this poem and recall a situation something like this that happened to me when my car broke down on the freeway when I was on my way to a flight. Because of this fellow who was an Angel I made my flight. He even cashed a check for me for $20. So I could get a cab the rest of the way! : )

Jennifer Walker December 10, 2017 at 6:25 PM I think you were helped because you are good looking sis. I've been on the interstate and had to change a tire twice, I even change a tire in the church parking lot, not one soul helped or even asked if I needed help. I guess I look tough enough to do it and have done it, but it sure would be nice to have someone just stop and ask me if I needed help. Andrea Dietrich December 10, 2017 at 7:38 PM If I look so good, why didn't I ever get off on ANY traffic tickets. Geeez, other women get off, and I act really nice to the cops and don't give any back talk to them. Anyway, next time I get a flat , nobody may stop. I don't look the same as ten years ago. haha Andrea Dietrich December 10, 2017 at 7:38 PM Yes, you do look very capable because you ARE. I bet you can easily change tires. I can't even use an electric can opener!!

Alexis Y. December 6, 2017 at 6:37 PM Hi Andrea, Good title and heartfelt content. It is so good to know that "real" life angels are in the world. This looks like a winner to me . I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Johnny Martinez December 5, 2017 at 11:28 PM It sure conjures up memories of my younger days when I would hitch hike. I always was grateful for those who were willing to stop and give me a ride. Well written.,

Matthew Anish December 5, 2017 at 5:07 PM There are some good people out there. A stranger once saved my life. I was about to go to doctor when all of a sudden I couldn't walk. It was starting rain and I thought it was the end. A stranger stopped his car and said "Are you O.K. I said " No I'm not". He flagged down a livery car which took me down the block to the doctors for $6. I got treated there and after a few months of rehab came home. Sincerely yours Matthew Anish
