FEATURING WYOMING’S CPS TEAM
VOLUME 27 WINTER 2008
A WYDOT Highway Safety Program and Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Injury Prevention
Precious Cargo
In a Small, Black Zippered Bag
Hope and stalwart heart were not to prevail,
Upon this chill winter's morn,
Over the rush of traffic, a mother's plaintive wail,
For Precious Cargo lay upon the road, tattered and torn,
A small child's blanket covered in blood and glass,
Amid debris scattered and strewn,
The ashen, wide eyed faces of other drivers' as they pass,
For Precious Cargo lay upon the road, shattered and hewn,
In the morn's rush, sensibility went horribly astray,
With the child restraint she would not be pained
Those who were not driving fast enough had best make way,
And now Precious Cargo lay upon the road,
battered and stained
The broad shoulders of hardened troopers begin to sag
As the coroner's vehicle passes by, siren silent, windows dark,
Precious Cargo now lay in a small, black zippered bag,
As they busy their minds with measurements and
photos from mark to mark.
