A Cross Beside The Road

A Cross Beside The Road

 

There was a cross beside the road

And pretty flowers too

In remembrance of a precious soul 

That crashed one afternoon

 

We knew he had arisen

From the accident there

With a place in Heaven given

Surely we declared

  

Some mourned hours long

And were unable to undo the crash  

With their friend forever gone  

Having driven his car too fast    

   

The family knew the accident best

And could easily locate the place

Where their loved one came to rest

And went to Heaven that day

 

Many tears were shed in mourning

There beside the road

With flowers so nobody forgot him

God’s wrecked but salvaged soul

    A fine write w c. There is a small plaque on the side of a road a couple of miles from us, for similar reasons.

      Thanks, orchidee. In my travels today, i saw crosses beside the road. I'm always reminded of the families and friends that wish to keep their loved ones memories alive.

      An elderly lady who was just walking along her way on the path leading to our local shop when she was tragically killed by a drunk driver. I walk that path most days and am grateful I wasn't the poor old lady was taken away from her family and friends. Very touching WC.

        You never know when it\'s your time to go. Automobile crashes happen, and they\'re always unexpected. Unlike the elderly and those that have experienced health problems such as cancer, there’s never any warning.
