I believe that is called compassion... ...if humans were to espouse that concept and live by it, this world would know peace at last... ...and have a chance to survive. Thank you for sharing, William. Love and peace to you,
Your words bring to mind of several memorials around here. I say a little prayer for those who loved the deceased most every time. Such a sad sight. You wrote some empathetic words and that makes you a real man, William! Kudos!
I DON'T CARE WHO WE ARE WE ALL CAN RELATE TO SOMEONE'S SORROW AND PAIN.
INDEED AND UNFORTUNATELY, IN THESE DAYS OF EXTREME SADNESS WHICH EXIST IN AMERICA...MANY SUCH CROSSES WITH FLOWERS ARE SEEN. AND THOSE THAT OBSERVE THEM, LIKE YOU AND SO MANY OTHERS, DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW THE MOURNING INDIVIDUALS TO BE SYMPATHETIC AND 'FEEL' THEIR PAIN. A WELL DONE, BITTERSWEET SHARING, MY FRIEND, THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Road accidents what they are, some roadsides would have thousands of crosses. A very poignant poem when you enter the man grieving.
But the idea of glorifying a place of death along roadways should be considered a temporary thing, lasting a short while in remembrance to those passing by. Generally those made with wooden sticks and flowers do disappear in time. But family tragedies should not become roadside memorials. In time they would become a nuisance and roadside distraction. There are exceptions, particularly for historical events.
So sad. Yes, I've seen those crosses and flowers. Sometimes there's even a name either on the cross or on a sign nearby. It is heartbreaking to think of a life cut short, leaving behind loved ones to grieve.
This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given
day.
