A.N. Hey, This was a poem I wrote in my college english class when the guy was talking. I didn't really feel like listening. blush Anyways its the first poem i have really written so don't be too harsh on it. I don't really know what inspired the poem I guess it was a day or two after my wreck and I was still shaken up. I was worried about death. Little did I know, someone I knew would die. A girl I used to go to school with named Anna was killed when her car hydroplaned and she hit a tree on the drivers side. I was thinking, i can't believe it. I wasn't really close to her but it is still a tradgic thing and I hope that her family somehow makes it through this. I send out my prayers to them. I hope you all drive safely and don't let small things make life bitter. Learn to live for the better things.

Little or None

I got caught up in life

I forgot how much it costs

To play the game and suffer the loss

I lost it all gambling away

To lose little or none that one day

I thought it wouldn’t mean much

A miniscule amount, a small touch

I didn’t want to lose at all

But the head gambler said, “I had to obey the law”

I saw out of the corner of my eye

A blood red rose wilt and die

I lost it all that long, wounding day

And on that day I gave something important away

I chose to lose one thing or another

And I hated to choose one brother

I felt my wounded pride give in

As I lost my temper and killed my best friend

I got caught up in life

I played the game and suffered the loss

I lost it all when little was to lose

Gambling away my own rules.
