Called Home To Soon

Another stormy night in my hometown
Brought icy trees and wires down
Streets looking like a piece of glass
It was extremely hard for cars to pass

On this cold and chilling winters night
Bodies were thrown from a car in flight
One could see, not far out of sight
The reflection of red and blue lights 


From a deadly car crash, to a coffin
Lying there in innocence and youth
Surrounded by an aura of white
Called home too soon by God.

Sad to see this intense anger of nature and causing death. This will also a reminder for us to be careful in driving car outside to an unfriendly weather. Nice sharing this, Susan. (^_^) Noel.
