The Traffic Memorial

entry picture

A bronze Teddy bear rests at its base.
A little child's doll looks forlorn in face.
Sitting in all weathers, patiently to wait.
A doll who's missing her little playmate.

I see a victims discarded walking cane.
Another life lost, another buried name.
2 fingers on a wrist watch frozen in time.
A set of keys lie beside this 'traffic sign'

A pair of glasses, smashed on contact.
A lonely crumbled boot, lost on impact.
Road carnage untold, every day I find.
Hearts broken of the people left behind.

A ladies handbag, a fallen mobile phone.
Items of victims who never made it home.
A moving inscription, in words very few.
Lives unfulfilled, in every case sadly true.

If you visit Liverpool, even just for a day.
Go to St Johns Gardens during your stay.
Visit this sculpture, put one moment aside.
Respect every victim who needlessly died.
