“We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.”
Tom Stoppard

The guilt of missing a text,
Is nothing compared to the guilt of making a family missing a member
Do net text while you drive,
You could save a life,
So if your driving put your phone away,
and drive carefully today and everyday.

© Andres T., Monte Vista, CO

I wrote this article after a friend of my family got in a horrible accident due to them texting while driving. I hope this poem will inspire people to put there phones away when they drive.
