CROSSES BY THE ROAD



Crosses By The Road

It's so sad to see those crosses by the road
Where I know some soles have died and gone home
I feel bad for the one who got that call
And I just can't imagine that at all

It makes me sad when I see people at that site
They say prayers and can't believe that this is right
They leave flowers and a cross to mark that site
So we can see those crosses in the night

It's so sad to see those crosses by the road
I feel bad for the families who had to love them so
I pray for them each time I pass that site
Where I see crosses glowing in the night

There are just too many crosses by the road
There is a way to stop this but only you will know
So when you see these crosses as you drive
Please say a prayer for all of them who've died

It's just so sad to see those crosses by the road

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
