Don't know if anyone has seen this before, but it brought a lump to my throat when I read it and it is certainly applicable to anyone who has been injured or killed in an accident.
I'm Just a biker"
I saw you; hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
But, you didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate
last Sunday.
I saw you; pull your child closer when we passed each other on the
sidewalk. But, you didn't see me playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you; change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the
hurricane relief.
I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.
But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your
cigarette butt out the car window.
I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to
the homeless.
I saw you, stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of
Love.
I saw you roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves
to those that had none.
I saw you; look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me cry as my children were born and having their
name tattooed on my skin and in my heart.
I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me going home to be with my family.
I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into
my lane.
I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me; pat my child's hands knowing he was safe
behind me.
I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road
But, you didn't see me; squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take
the next turn.
I saw you, race down the road in the rain.
But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have
the car to go on his date.
I saw you; run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.
I saw you; cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
But, you didn't see me, leave the road.
I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
I saw you; go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me, because, I died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker and a person with friends and a family.
But, you didn't see me.
