The big highway

I don't know how; I don't know where
I was in a car that was sideways, somehow
On a big highway, there
Blocked by a big truck keeping us in a safe way.

But suddenly the big truck had gone away
We were open to oncoming traffic our way
When suddenly my mind was in a disorientated state
I knew we'd been hit somehow, some way, it was my fate.

As my spirit was trying to wander away
I heard a voice say. Don't you know what happened?
You're dead now you see?And I knew I was headed for eternity
As my spirit was slowly drifting away.

And my mind seemed to say
Lord Jesus, here I am; I'm coming your way, today!
And thank for your loving way; for your Salvation, I pray
As I dreamed I was killed today
On the big highway.

Some dream that was! It would have been a real nightmare if you didn't know where you were going, wouldn't it? Good poem!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh my gosh, I couldn't help but tear up reading this because it must have been so frightening dreaming of something like this so real, I'm happy it was just a dream! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this was a scary but wonderfully written poem! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
