A BIKERS PRAYER
I saw you pull your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
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.
You didn't see me playing Santa at the local mall.
------------------------------------------------------
I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant with a few motorcycles out front.
You didn't see me attending a rally to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
------------------------------------------------------
I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by.
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.
You didn't see me when I took time off from work to run toys to the needy.
------------------------------------------------------
I saw you stare at my long hair.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You didn't see me trying to turn right.
------------------------------------------------------
I saw you cut me off while talking on your cell phone because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
You didn't see me leave the road.
------------------------------------------------------
I saw you waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
You didn't see me. I wasn't there.
------------------------------------------------------
You were so drunk you didnt know you crossed the double yellow into my lane right in front of me.
I am lucky to be alive.....so's my ol' lady. you didnt get hurt.
------------------------------------------------------
I saw you go home to your family. You didn't see me
...because I died that day when you cut me off, I was just a biker and a person with friends and family.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON FOR YOUR FRIENDS WHO RIDE OR had someone WHO MAY HAVE DIED WHILE RIDING A MOTORCYCLE.
Also for those who feel the same way as above about the biker. Pass this on... let's help make people aware!!
