  I knew a woman in the 80s who was the wife of my brother's friend, Butch. She was the sweetest, kindest woman ever. One day my brother tells me she was driving home from the airport late at night. Exhausted behind the wheel, she fell asleep and crashed into a concrete bridge support and was killed instantly. It shook me to my core. My older brother, too, fell asleep behind the wheel years ago and awoke just in time to avoid catastrophe, thank God. This poem is more than poetry, but a profound and wise message for the many who consider the deed aforementioned. Thank you, Andrei, for sharing wisdom. Well written, my friend. more »

    Thank you Steve for your support, and a high rating of my work! I appreciate it. I am verry sorry to hear about your friend's family losses. Yes, the risks indeed are high, if you don't learn to catch the first sign and act properly. Tricks help, like singing in this case, similar to ALWAYS following two stage process when consuming a liquid beverage while driving. Something I was trying to explain to my son recently. I hope to help, and this poem gets recalled when it is needed. Thank you. more »
