Who Would You Be?
Today is a day that many lives are changed forever… Work has just ended… It’s time to head home… usual routine. But today… the routine won’t be the same… Right before the drivers eyes an accident happens… a car from incoming lane swerves in the next lane hitting a vehicle head on… seeing such a site is terrifying enough… but seeing a child crash through the windshield and hit the road is even more devastating. The driver that just left work stops the car and runs out ignoring either car and runs to the child… It’s a little girl looking to be around eight years old… The person is down on their knees… lifts up the little girl seeing she has been pierced and is bleeding all around… The driver is in tears… telling this little girl that help will be here soon… that you have to hang on… you are full of greatness and you need to stay with me… The little girl looked into the drivers eyes… “Help is already here… looking down at me… You are an angel holding me… noticing me… ready to take me home… My greatness you say I contain is now within you.” The driver said, “I’m not an angel… I’m just someone that cares…” The little girls barely is able to speak… “Hold me until I’m home.” The driver holds the little girl tight as she gives her last breath.
(That is the story, but let me paint the picture… The person that caused the wreck is a drunk driver… lost their job… felt like there is nothing good in their life and went out to a bar to drink the sorrows away… The parents of the little girl were too focused on getting to where they were heading and couldn’t be late… that they didn’t make sure their daughter was buckled in… There is a crowd gathered around the scene… The driver that left work making an honest living is the one on the ground with the little girl that is no more… And my question to you… Who are you? Are you the person that thinks you just don’t care anymore that you would put the life of other people in jeopardy? That you don’t realize that you being irresponsible and unable to drive that your car is now a two thousand pound weapon? That your troubled life just ruined an innocent one? Or are you the parents? So caught up in your busy life that you fail to do what you are supposed to be… a parent… a protector of your child… that you would rather be on time than to make sure your children are safe? I would miss a meeting with the president if I knew it was because I was making sure my daughter was safe. Or are you the innocent bystanders… just standing there watching… You don’t really care the who’s, but that chaos has your drawn there and you just have to see the mangled wreck and blood all over… Would you be the one person that runs to the little girl and tries all you can to save her? Her blood covering your clothes… and all you care is for her to survive… because you can love someone you don’t even have to know…? If you ask me who would I be? I have thought about a week on this and as much as I would say I would love to be the driver that runs to the little girls rescue… I don’t think I would be that one… I would if some unforeseen power would let me… take place of the little girl… I would give her my life so she can continue to live and carry on her greatness to the world and I would pass on… I would leave this earth a little 4yr old and that would be so hard decide… so hard… but what if that was my little girl laying there? And some stranger gave their life to save her… If I gave my life for that girl I would leave her with one thing… That she would have to share her greatness with my daughter and in time help her understand why I chose such an act… And that I will always watch over her. Reality… I know I can’t just switch places, but I would do all I could to save that little girl even if it meant giving her all my blood to nearly the last drop… Children are our future and if they see the greatness of others now and live with that greatness they can pass it along. I know this is a harsh cruel world… but I choose to not give up hope.)
