Poetry at its Best

By David Vanderburg American Author of Poetry

The United States Flag to represent that the U.S. of America is a great country.

The Okla. State to represent that Okla. Is a great state and to remind us that U.S.A. and Okla. Bonded together as one for OKLAHOMA during the crisis of the Alfred P. Murrah Building.

The HEART to represent that this is the HEARTLAND

The STAR to represent the LOVE that shines in our heart for all of those who were killed and their loved ones who lost loved ones and those who were but survived.

About the Author

Highway Safety

Today we go at too fast a pace,

everybody hurrying to get no place.

They don't even have a clue why

they're all in too big a hurry to die.

They always say it won't happen to me.

They act like they're too blind to see.

They drive while talking on their cellphone,

not realizing that they might never make it home.

Talking on their cellphone while driving too fast,

These two things together could be their last.

Today's highway is not a place to play.

At high speed, it's much too easy to go astray,

When driving on the highway or in town,

drive safe or too early, you'll be put down

and death should not happen so early in life.

Be safe and protect your children, husband, and wife.
