Best Upliftingcar Poems
A busy wife and mom, she always seemed late
But she didn’t know why, at times she would wait
When a sense of urgency was of great import
Especially to those waiting, most in need of her support
For those of us wondering, “How could she always take so long?”
Since it wasn’t obvious why, oft was heard a car horn
But many times I noticed, even as a small lad
There was intent in her lateness, usually to aid something or someone who had
A need greater than ours, or those we were meeting
Like our dogs needed water, or the horses needed feeding
Or, stopping to talk to an elderly neighbor
Who had just learned of an illness that caused them great labor
There was the time when she stopped the car to explain something of import
We got to ask many questions, she never cut us short
I also remember a stressful day, one where we were late for carpool
And an irate father took it out on her, very un cool
Later that night I could hear her crying as we went to sleep
And I prayed for an angel to visit and tell her not to weep
And to show her how her small decisions to be late
Greatly affect people and other’s lives, which then go on to create
Such a wonderful world for us all to enjoy
If we just keep in mind, that if all of us too employed
A sometimes-slight hesitation, a thought of others before plunging ahead
We’d all get to experience a life with more threads
That fulfills that promise to our creator who asked
Only that we fill our lives with greater weight
And maybe, just maybe, it’s because we’re a few minutes late
“Oh Boy!”
Summer was swirling in my head.
Boys, romance novels, teen mags were all that I read.
I just got my car and my license, enough said.
“So, you’ve locked your car with your car engine running, your car alarm sounding,
your air conditioner blowing, your window shield wipers wiping, your radio blaring,
your headlights are glowing and your purse is in your car too?” asked Officer Ted.
True story.
Ruth wasn't more than seventeen,
the cutest girl I had ever seen;
a drunk driver collided head-on
with a Buick Regal at an excessive speed.
That intoxicated man had smoked weed...
he once was a clean, responsible son.
Yesterday her mom was so proud of a boy so mannered and tame,
today she's gotten a share of the horrendous shame;
he's not aware of the horrifying crash, he continues to laugh;
while in the passenger's seat of the other car Ruth bleeds to death.
The nearest hospital' ambulance comes within five minute's time,
the car radio is still playing that song with perfect rhyme;
Ruth's face is covered with blood and pieces of glass,
and her mom tries to wipe them off with a towel as white as her dress.
She hopes that those paramedics would save her,
but she has no pulse,...how heart-wrenching is Ruth's mother despair!
Why did he drink irresponsibly, get behind the wheel and enter the opposite lane?
Didn't he know that a car is a weapon that often takes the life of an innocent person?
" So sorry for my son's negligence and impairment, I will share your deep pain."
Will's mom apologizes in an attempt to comfort her while sunlight brings on the dawn.
Life can be a car wreck.
It can be a crash.
It can seem like it’s all carshing into you.
It can seem like you’re just stuck
and you can’t move.
But you live and you learn,
cry and you yearn.
Smile and laugh,
win and loose,
rise and fall,
and walk and crawl.
It can scare you
and freak you out.
You feel like you will never get out of this mess that you’re in.
You feel like you’re trapped
and no one can save you.
and you don’t know what to do.
You cry
but you feel like no one’s there to see your tears
and wipe them away.
You just don’t feel like you’ll see another happy day.
You feel like sunshine will never again come your way.
But soon it will all be over.
You will see a happy day.
You live and you learn,
cry and you yearn.
smile and laugh,
win and loose,
rise and fall,
walk and crawl.
Life can be a car wreck
where it feels as if everything is broken into pieces
and you can’t seem to fit them back together.
You can’t find every piece.
Some pieces are missing.
But over time
the pieces are found and they all fit together perfectly.
Because
you live and you learn,
cry and you yearn.
smile and laugh,
win and loose,
rise and fall,
walk and crawl.
Hang in there.
You’ll be pulled out of this car wreck.
