Ann Marie! An amazing author from Toronto. I'll tell you all about a new book of hers after I read it. |
Hola!
I was invited to Phoenix for the annual Lifesavers conference. It was amazing! I was actually their special guest speaker for the plenary session this last Monday morning, 3/28/2011. The room was full of well-dressed adults. Everyone there had a well-respected profession. As the room began to fill up my nerves started to show. I sat at the table on stage cracking my knuckles while the thousand plus took their seats. As I was introduced at the podium the words just started to flow. I only had a few sentences scribbled down on a card to keep me on track but I hardly ever looked at them. Twenty one minutes went by like they were five. Success! It was the best speech yet. I met some amazing people and hopefully made some great friends. Follow your dreams everyone!!!
I’m hopefully saving lives
I’m hopefully changing minds
Pulling out respect
Cause it’s something fading in time
It’s the first thing that we learn
When we’re finally able to drive
Vehicles impatient to take their turns
It’s like their rather waiting to die
Happens at high speeds
We we’re cut off driving on freeways
We hit the brakes and scream stop
But drivers don’t care what we say
Only care about themselves
It’s sad cause most are adults
These teens learn to drive
But just copy what’s on the roads
Disrespectful people are pathetic
Blaming it on the youth
But if they only learned respect
Instead of pointing the finger at you
We’d all be better drivers
Brain injuries on the road would be gone
It’s pointless not to try this
Killing ourselves is just all to wrong…
