Just a Biker!!!

I saw you hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store.
But you didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate at mass last Sunday.

I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other at the local mall.
I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for those in need.

I saw you, roll up your window, shake your head and roll your eyes when I rode by.
But you didn't see me driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the 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 10 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 were born and having their name
tattooed on my skin 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 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 hand knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you, reading the map or newspaper as your 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, getting soaked to the bone
so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you run that 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 another biker, and a person with friends and a family.
BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE ME.
