A Cross At The Side Of The Road

A yellow rose,
lay's at it's base,
a splash of color,
a loving touch;
a young one's gone,
a life cut short,
my little girl,
my little girl,
a cross
at the side of the road.

Jwesley I always bless the souls that belong to those white crosses beside the road whenever I pass one.  My deepest sympathies for you if your daughter was killed that way.  Heck, I couldn't even stand to drive on that particular stretch of road for a long time.  *hugs*  Email if you need to talk and good work, a sad poem but it has an important reminder for us all...

 I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

I have a few friends with this cross.
my heart out to you kid.

Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Thanks, guys...but thank the Lord, not my child...this was written because, as Isis said, my heart goes out everytime I see a cross, and there have been one's we knew that now have wear those crosses.

JWesley so glad to hear that the cross in question was not that of your daughter    Still let's all bless those who do belong to those crosses and their families....
