The Cross On Side On the Road

The cross on side the road
       For Tj, Megan,Gabby, and Ian

They were only kids
Barely adults,
Driving home
And something terrible happened...

Everyone awoke
To this horrid accident,
A car in a bayou
With its goners,
Unable to escape
Slowly drowning...

No survivors.

I went walk by this cross
And a parked car faced it,
A man
Sits there,
Staring...
Tears slowly crawling down his face.

My heart broke
For his lost son,
Sitting there
Just staring at this cross.
