Too Late
by Dale Sahlberg

The screech of car tires
quick turn of wheel
still hitting a little form
that broke upon the steel
and lay in a small bundle
staining the road red...

"I sa..sa..saw her too late,"
was all the drunk driver said.

Another drink for the road
was too many that day
a small precious child
would never again play;
for the parents - no answers
only these words instead ...

"I sa..sa..saw her too late,"
was all the drunk driver said.
