Last Oasis on the Toll’s Way







The black sign in white roman font

Read like a lone favored star,

“Last Oasis on the Toll’s Way”.

 

Counting the change on the loose

Holding out for salvation’s pay

And dreading a bankrupt soul.

 

The road cares for neither side

Poor and rich will pass this way

All the same;    cold.

 

A beautiful old church stands firm

Over the ugly; the strong; the weak -

Her empty arms welcome all.

 

At the last oasis along the toll way.
