A Poem That Gives You Goosebumps..
>>>>
>>>> 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 plain tive 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, "
>>>> &n bsp; 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.
