Monday All Over Again

Monday, another day on earth
work, home, family, friends
Reflection of  this day, its worth
Her winning pie, her smile. 

I did not ride with friends todaythe ride together, to our in service day 
changed mind late last night
last minute decisions,   

Car crash, friends okay
the call to let me know
she was happy that
I did not ride with her today.
Considerate, compassion
friendship, everlasting.
to change your mind,only takes a second. Rode by the wreck on the way home
Was that someone from work
Car in ditch, rain coming down
fast paced cars all around

Yes, it was, surely was
my instincts flash rapidly by
She, my friend with co-worker 
It was her this time,
One fast glance comes to mind.
Her heart so precious, the loving kind
to think of me instead of her 
as she suffers pain
again and again
a friend forever till the end.
More compassion for others 
then herself.  Love.

Courageous woman,
so much a tragedy
comes her way
to her again on this Monday.
.
Tomorrow starts
all over again.

Thank you

Today was some kind of day for sure and her my friend battling cancer, many things going on and to have this on top of it all and the call tonight telling me. Mona I am glad you were not in the car as you would have been really hurt due to my back surgeries. I just could not believe it with whiplash and Lord knows what else and all she could begin the talk was about being happy I was not in the same car as we had planned to go together. thanking you for the comments Magics02 "Determination Brings Success"
