This One Will Give 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 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,
"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,
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.
The 7 Second Prayer, Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves.
"Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless my family, my home, my friends, and me. Amen. "

I am also sorry for your lose, Bonnie, but I'm so proud of you...that you gave your heart to The Lord. You will indeed she each other again. Your mother is in heaven smiling down on you and loving you with all of her heart. She is also so proud of you. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd care to and we can talk once in awhile.

I'm so sorry to hear you've lost your mother but what a blessing she knew the Lord. Prayerfully you will see her again someday in Heaven. I am standing in agreement with your prayer dear, amen.

I am writing this with tears in my eyes. The poem was so enchanting and a symbol of a Father's love for his children. I don't know what to say. I am at a loss for words. But I will email it all round and share it with everyone I know.

Oh my - goosebumps nothing, I'm shivering all over. As I was reading this it just came over me like a wave. When I got to the end the shivers stopped and now I feel warm.
God does hear our prayers and answers them, thank you Jesus, Praise the Lord.

That is really weird - but yet not. Exciting that we both had the same reaction but very comforting to know that God is with us all the time, even when reading discussions on myLot...
