Roadside Crosses

You see them everywhere
Quiet neighborhoods and super highways
Embellished or plain
Visual reminders of loss
A need for others to remember someone loved
A need to share pain.

Festooned with flowers,
Wreaths or
Birthday balloons …
Some etched with names and dates
Personal yet public sorrow.

My eyes search them out now
Say a silent prayer
In memory of a life lost
Lost love.
