crossed roads

driving down the roads our paths
going out to meet the world
see white crosses of travels wrath
some flowers with flags unfurled

we pass by quickly trying not to
think about how they got there
realize there were folks somebody knew
be cautious on the way we take care

trying not to think about who was left
behind and the tears that surely fell
who brought crosses of love left bereft
for all who pass by they tell

a tale of admonishment to pay attention
and arrive safely, a disasters prevention

Much thought went into this poem. It is sad, but true. It's good to remember those that were lost. Drive safely.
