>>A drunk man in an Oldsmobile
>>
>> They said had run the light
>>
>> That caused the six-car pileup
>>
>> On 109 that night.
>>
>> When broken bodies lay about
>>
>> "And blood was everywhere,"
>>
>> "The sirens screamed out eulogies,"
>>
>> For death was in the air.
>>
>> "A mother, trapped inside her car,"
>>
>> Was heard above the noise;
>>
>> Her plaintive plea near split the air:
>>
>> "Oh, God, please spare my boys!"
>>
>> She fought to loose her pinned hands;
>>
>> "She struggled to get free,"
>>
>> But mangled metal held her fast
>>
>> In grim captivity.
>>
>> Her frightened eyes then focused
>>
>> "On where the back seat once had been,"
>>
>> But all she saw was broken glass and
>>
>> Two children's seats crushed in.
>>
>> Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
>>
>> "She did not hear them cry, "
>>
>> "And then she prayed they'd been thrown free, "
>>
>> "Oh, God, don't let them die! "
>>
>> Then firemen came and cut her loose, "
>>
>> "But when they searched the back, "
>>
>> "They found therein no little boys, "
>>
>> But the seat belts were intact.
>>
>> They thought the woman had gone mad
>>
>> "And was traveling alone, "
>>
>> "But when they turned to question her, "
>>
>> They discovered she was gone.
>>
>> Policemen saw her running wild
>>
>> And screaming above the noise
>>
>> "In beseeching supplication, "
>>
>> Please help me find my boys!
>>
>> They're four years old and wear blue shirts;
>>
>> "Their jeans are blue to match.""
>>
>> "One cop spoke up, ""They're in my car, "
>>
>> And they don't have a scratch.
>>
>> They said their daddy put them there
>>
>> "And gave them each a cone, "
>>
>> Then told them both to wait for Mom
>>
>> To come and take them home.
>>
>> "I've searched the area high and low, "
>>
>> But I can't find their dad.
>>
>> "He must have fled the scene, "
>>
>> "I guess, and that is very bad."
>>
>> "The mother hugged the twins and said, "
>>
>> "While wiping at a tear, "
>>
>> "He could not flee the scene, you see, "
>>
>> "For he's been dead a year."
>>
>> "The cop just looked confused and asked, "
>>
>> "Now, how can that be true? "
>>
>> "The boys said, ""Mommy, Daddy came "
>>
>> "And left a kiss for you."
>>
>> " He told us not to worry "
>>
>> "And that you would be all right, "
>>
>> And then he put us in this car with
>>
>> "The pretty, flashing light. "
>>
>> "We wanted him to stay with us, "
>>
>> "Because we miss him so, "
>>
>> "But Mommy, he just hugged us tight "
>>
>> And said he had to go.
>>
>> He said someday we'd understand
>>
>> "And told us not to fuss, "
>>
>> "And he said to tell you, Mommy, "
>>
>> "He's watching over us."
>>
>> The mother knew without a doubt
>>
>> "That what they spoke was true, "
>>
>> "For she recalled their dad's last words, "
>>
>> " I will watch over you."
>>
>> The firemen's notes could not explain
>>
>> "The twisted, mangled car, "
>>
>> And how the three of them escaped
>>
>> Without a single scar.
>>
>> "But on the cop's report was scribed, "
>>
>> "In print so very fine, "
>>
>> An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.

Said: "I raise my hands, bow my head.
"I'm findin' more an' more truth, "In the words written in red. "They tell me that there's more to life, "Than just what I can see." I can't quote The Book, The chapter or the verse. You can't tell me it all ends, In a slow ride in a hearse. You know ,I'm more an' more convinced, The longer that I live: Yeah, this can't be; no, this can't be, No, this can't be all there is. | ||
