For all who Know Motorcycle Riders
......
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,... atten ding 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 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. This for me is dedicated to
my dad who gets dirty stares just because he rides harley, because he's a muscular dude who works
out, and has tattoos. People really needa start
loooking beyond what they see, because
its retarded. if you read, thankyou<3
