My wife would scream and then she’d cry
The twisting roads went speeding by
It had been months, I’d break a bit
To see the cliff where trees lay split

If we were blessed and we’re unharmed
Then still I drive my wife alarmed
A babe in back as wheels go down
The steepest cliff the angels found

As I will muse a curve we pass
A wreath on stand, depress the gas
I read the words of lesson’s true
In a child’s hand writ “Dad, miss you”

Walt a very poignant write, and I too shall say a prayer for all concerned.  There is a lesson in this that I hope all will understand.  Thank you.

I feel I should understand this but I don't so please someone help me.  It sounds scary

Go ahead, push your luck; find out how much love the world can hold
