She was a bright eyed girl

With dreams too big to see

Graduating in May

A doctor soon to be

Dean's list all four years

Had a future with no limitations

The world was hers

24 years young

She could do no wrong

Never second guessed

Because she knew best

Thought she had forever to live

Forever to help and heal others

She sped down the street

Not a care in the world

But having everything to lose

Listening to music

When suddenly

Her phone rings

Without second thought

Without second guessing

Because she knew best

She answers

With the music blasting

And her phone call distracting

She doesn't realize the red light

She blows through

With dreams too big to see

Graduating in May

A doctor soon to be

Dean's list all four years

Her future with no limitations

Suddenly gone

Wanting to help others

But can't even help herself now

It can always wait, as much as you want to answer your friend or whoever, it can wait. I'm sure everyone would rather see you later than to hear that they were the cause for you not being there. Set your phone down, don't risk your life or others. Don't risk your life even if you feel invincible because, believe me, you aren't. Be safe, especially during the holiday season. Sometimes it's hard with all the distractions and such, but it can all wait until later. Be safe.
