I remember I read this somewhere in elementary school, and it was a pretty deep poem. :)

Today while we were on our way to waterloo to drop my brother off, I saw an accident happen. Well, not like HAPPEN HAPPEN, but we passed by the accident that happened like 2 seconds ago. One car was like, FLIPPED OVER, and it was crushed into half its size. There were cars stopping and people were getting out to help the victims. I saw people calling 911, and it was pretty scary.

I thought about if they would live. There could have only been one person in the car, or a family with a new born. They could have been listening to the radio as the enjoy their sunday afternoon. And a millisecond later, they are upside down as the car rolls. I remember my first car accident last year around this time. It was snowing really hard, and the accident only lasted a couple of seconds. The car was spinning around the highway. All I remembered was me staring outside the window and my mom screaming. I didn't even have time to realize that I was in the middle of an accident. When it was over, I was like like..."w t f?" My brain shut down for a couple of minutes until my dad said "ARE YOU OKAYY?!" Thankfully we were all okay and there wasn't a big damage to the car.

I just hope that the people that were in the car are all okay and hope God is with them. It just takes a second for our lives to be taken, and I was reminded to enjoy life because you never know when it will be over.
