School Crossing Guard

never in my life could i foresee that a school crossing guard would be a life for me. but looking into my grandchild's eyes i knew it was a must for in me he put his trust. then i heard of a child who died today ' oh so young' to be taken away. the parents and family in total grief with no signs of any relief. the child had gone out to play and the ball just slipped away. without looking she ran to the street. the driver saw the ball and then the feet. tried to swerve from the child but was traveling at forty miles. the child never got to see the car or hear the screeching of the tires. for death has no sound it just comes and takes you down. that was when i knew that a scg was what i must do. now i like so many others stand on a street corner helping to keep the law and order.
