Linna drives herself
Beyond her exhaustion point
Crossing safety line

Negative outcomes
Are more than just imagined!
Only G-d prevents...

Just pull over, girl
Lock the doors and rest a bit
Resume trip after

If you're expected
A quick call can tell loved ones
Why you will be late

We cannot spare you
You must take care of yourself
As well as others

Wow, DPJ, I saw your poem, and felt like, "What did I do to qualify for this?"

Thank you.

You're welcome, Linna
"Qualify" is meaningless
Give it no more thought

There is no question
Your posts show your heart to all
It is strong and pure

But my haiku's words
Were for all beyond their strength
To heed their limits

Another sunrise
Is always in the offing
Let it renew you
