This was written for me and my husband after our motorcycle accident and was published in a couple for biker magazines. I always post this and send it out in emails every spring. Please, when you are on the road, watch out for us bikers.

You Didn’t See Me

I saw you; hug your purse closer in the grocery store line
But you didn’t see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate on Sunday.

I saw you; pull your child closer when we passed each other in 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, attending meetings to raise money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head as I rode by
But you didn’t see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out of 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 work to take toys to the homeless.

I saw you, stare at my longhair
But you didn’t see me, and my friends cut 10” off for Locks of Love.

I saw you; roll your eyes at our leather and gloves
But you didn’t see me, and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none.

I saw you; look in fright at my tattoos
But you didn’t see me, cry when my children were born and had their names written over and in my heart.

I saw you, change lanes when 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 your 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 hand knowing he was safe behind me

I saw you, reading a newspaper or a 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, getting soaked to the skin so my son could have the car for a date.

I saw you; run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time
But you didn’t see me, as I was 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 go 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 the day you cut me off
I was just a biker…….with friends and family
But you didn’t see me.
