She drove them home from school,
her girl and a friend, both teens.
They chatted, laughed, like every day,
blond hair, looking like queens.
She had to stop to turn off left,
waited for an opposite car.
Little did she know this Mom,
that death was not that far.
A truck came rolling down the road,
he had to catch the ferry.
Stepped down his peddle, gaining speed,
the way he drove was scary.
He didn't see the car at all,
bumped into it from the rear.
The girls were launched like missals,
they weren't buckled up I fear.
So yes, in busses that drive kids,
those seatbelts should be in.
They could make quite a difference,
when there's a life to win.
