Hello red stop
sign with your letters in
white. You guide me while
turning to the left and to the right.
At night you shine with your shimmering
glow, so we understand when to stop and
go. Your octagonal shape is pleasing to the
eye. You protect me so I don’t crash
and die. Thank you for keeping
me safe and sound. I’m sure
I’ll see you next
time around.
