Tragedy on Highway 109--A poem.

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
"Dear God don't let them die!"
Then firemen came and cut her loose
But when they searched the back
They found there in 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.
Policeman 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 dont 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 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
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 lights."
"We wanted him to stay with us
Because we miss him so
But Mommy, he just hugged us tight
and he 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.
