Wheels

Wheels are turning

Wheels are spinning

Wheels are burning

In my head

Turning here

Turning there

Turning, Turning

In despair

Wondering if

 The words I've said

Are out there spinning

 In your head

Hoping, Praying

What I've done

Hasn't caused

Your heart to run

If my wheels

Ran over you

Please tell me

What I can do

To help the love

Heal your heart

So you can have

A brand new start

Do you ever toss and turn at night thinking about your words or actions from the previous day?  Do you ever wish that when you wake up that the previous day, week, month, year will all have been a dream?  Have you ever wanted to go back and try again?  Have you ever said something that you wish you hadn't?  Have you ever run over someones feelings, thoughts or efforts and just kept on rolling? 

Sometimes in life we are so busy or focused on where we are going that we don't think about how it affects those around us.  The saddest part for me is when the realization hits me that I have wounded someone else.

A few years ago, I was involved in a car accident.  A gentlemen pulled into a driveway to turn around.  He backed out in front of the car I was in.  We tried to avoid him, but to no avail.  I remember him saying, "I didn't see you.  I am so sorry.  I didn't see you."  And although I have recovered from the accident. I have injuries that will always remind me of that day. 

How many times in my journey through life have I injured someone because I didn't see?  How many people have scars that will be with them always because I didn't think?  How many times?
