Driving along
All too often
Flowers by the road
Heavy hearted
My mind full
Of tales of forebode
The road
Has taken
Yet another life
Some ignore
For others
It cuts like a knife
The flowers
Are left
To remember a loved one
A reminder
Of them
And all they've done
Tragic and sad
It shows
Heartbreak, for all to see
That right there
In that place
Was a tragedy
It may haunt
Make people
Drive with care
Flowers by the road
Will remain
To make people aware
For in a moment
A life
Can be taken away
The flowers
Laid there
To remember that day
