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.
