Now Bridge Fear

.
                                              Safe secure
                                    Back seat_car not on tour
                         Just to church on Sunday night_safe road
                    One drunk driver pushing another car not towed
               Crossed center line even though had his whole side road
                              Daddy went over tried to stay clear
                                 Car hit_ dad couldn't clear steer
                                            Now Bridge Fear

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/19/2010 6:51:00 PM 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 Login to Reply

Carrie Richards Date: 10/19/2010 3:20:00 PM 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 Login to Reply

Sara Kendrick Date: 10/19/2010 3:02:00 PM 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 Login to Reply
