Little Crosses

In memory of tragic highway deaths.

Little crosses, 'side the road,
Ended lives, bodies cold.
 Crashing metal, squealing brakes,
Sadness, grief, an error makes.

Lack of judgement, maybe drinking,
In a hurry, no one thinking.
Out of time, grieving friends,
Way too late, to make amends.

No more hopes, no more schemes,
Gone forever, youthful dreams.
Pick a casket, fill a plot,
A life that was, now is not.

Little crosses, where they died,
Little crosses, where we cried.
Little crosses, casting darts,
Standing silent, breaking hearts.
