Another Cross Upon a Tree

As I drive bye I can see
Another cross upon a tree
Then I wonder just who was he
and did he leave behind family
Just racing in his small datsun
Now his life gone, no more fun
Someone stopped to fix a tire
and on that road he did expire
The next one drifted off to sleep
Now I wonder?how many weep
Four friends just out for a ride
It's so sad all of them died
I see fresh flowers on the ground
Whenever his lover comes around
Every week she decorates that tree
It's all she has left, is his memory
And everyday as I drive by
Another cross catches my eye

As I read this I thought of the poem "The Road not taken" by Robert Frost. This is a well done contrast.
