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.
