reminders about the importance of intelligence and caution while carrying precious cargo
Dreams of the past, present and future
Regrets of the days that have passed without permission

The past and present are filled with white powder
A seemingly innocent substance that changes lives

One moment compromises everything
The slip of a foot and missing of a pedal

The spinning without control
Lives flashing before everyone’s eyes

Regaining control is difficult
The one in the driver’s seat is lucky

The car stops without causing a wreck
No one was wounded

Relief encompasses the soul as she turns around
A smile creeps across her face

Her love and meaning for living
Remains asleep in her car seat

The unforeseen future welcomes clarity
Vigilance will be forever present
