Night Drivers Poem by Jamie McDonald

It’s been quite a while since I saw him last
Painful, happy and sad memories long in the past
Best friends with my uncle with whom I worked and I drank.
Hit by car his body and mind damaged and blank.
He still remembers the names people for who he cares
He just doesn’t always remember from where
Once was a champion gymnast and a real decent gent
But now his eyes they have dulled his body is bent
So when you’re out driving on a dark rainy night
Be aware of pedestrians so they won’t have to fight for their life.
Uncle Terry you full of life and had such a spark
You were always up for the greatest of larks
So all you night drivers slow down in the rain
You might save another a lifetime of pain.
