But, You Didn't See Me...
I saw you, hug your purse
closer to you in the grocery store line.
But, 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.
But, you didn't see me, playing
Santa at the local mall.
I saw you, change your mind
about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see
me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the
hurricane relief.
I saw you, roll up your window
and shake your head when I drove by.
But, 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.
But, you didn't see me, when I
took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.
I saw you, stare at my long
hair.
But, 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.
But, 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.
But, you didn't see me, cry as
my children where born and have their name written over and
in my heart.
I saw you, change lanes while
rushing off to go somewhere.
But, 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.
But, 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.
But, 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.
But, 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.
But, 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.
But, you didn't see me, trying
to turn right.
I saw you, cut me off because
you needed to be in the lane I was in.
But, you didn't see me, leave
the road.
I saw you, waiting impatiently
for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I
wasn't there.
I saw you, go home to your
family.
But, you didn't see
me. Because, I died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker,.....
A person with friends and a
family.
BUT, YOU DIDN'T SEE ME.
