A Poem That Will Give You Goosebumps..............
Daddy
-------------
A drunk man in an Oldsmobile, they said had run the light;
that caused the six car pileup on 109 tonight.
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 childrens 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; just seat belts still 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 alright,
and then he put us in this car with the pretty flashing lights.
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 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 thier dads last words, "I will watch over you."
The fireman's notes could not explain the twisted mangled car,
And how the three of them escaped without a single scar.
But on the cops report was scribed, in print so very fine;
an angel walked the beat tonight on highway 109.
I don't know the author, but i wanted to share this with all of you.
