Highway Marker Poem by Jim Milks

To my brother, my sister my nameless friend
There by the side of the highway
To mark where your journey did end
Amongst the debris and a forgotten bouquet

I have placed this simple stone
There in the warm and gentle sun
So that you will never be alone
And to mark all that has been left undone

How you came to this place
I can not comprehend
How I long for your warm embrace
This site none shall ever vilipend
