    The Mistake

     driving down the road I see
    troubled waters up ahead
    even closer now I get
    I can feel that awful dread

    I glance around to take it in
    my past is just around the bend
    my pounding heart tells me so
    and I pull over to see a friend

    I take the flowers from my car
    with my tears, I lose the fight
    I lay them by the wooden cross
    that's been there since that awful night

    You trusted me to get you there
    I took a drink just one you see
    Now I stand here all alone
    wishing you were visiting me

    The words are brutally sad for an incident I wish you are only creating as a poem.........because dui is one of the latest epidemics where there is no recourse.......at least where I live.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
