Roadside Crosses On the way to Mother’s I pass Dual crosses, side by side, Adorned in colors of Easter they, In silence, shout of two who died, And left this plane where crosses stand Like children mourning, hand in hand. I wonder how they spent the day Before they drew their final breath. The sun awoke them one last time, Each step they took was towards their death, And ones they loved left crosses to stand Like children mourning, hand in hand. Sherry Bivin 3/25/05 |

Welcome. This is poignantly told. Each sign is a visual reality checkpoint for me whenever my eyes catch them alongside the road. |

Yes this is where poetry is at its best, getting a message across and it does it with dignity...and with soft understanding of the those left to mourn the loss...but at the same time appraising us of the shame attached to the ''why'' of war..thank you..and may i say Welcome To Passions...hope to read more of your fine poetry soon.. Goldenrose. |

A very sad but true story that I see every day...so many caused by drivers that have fallen asleep...and never knew what had happened.... Welcome to Passions, please enjoy yourself. |
