You said you would be back soon
When you went out on that day
Neither one of us could know
What would happen and in what way
We'd talked for many hours
Of how our lives should be
Happines, togetherness
For you the kids and me
We'd booked our next vacation
All the details made
How things can be turned on their heads
Such careful plans waylaid
It was the last day of the week
And work was finally over
Tomorrow evening we'd be there
Apart from one stopover.
Two hours later came the call
A policeman stood at the door
His face was taught and grim
'I'm afraid sir, there is some bad news
May I perhaps come in?'
He informed me that a driver.
Who'd had to much to drink
Had drove up on the sidewalk
Before an eye could blink
He'd hit you at colossal speed.
You'd had no time at all
He'd slammed your body and our childs
Up against the wall
You'd stood no chance
You'd felt no pain
It was over all so quick.
The hairs on my neck stood up
Was this just some bad trick?
Reality hit at the hospital
When your bodies I saw there
So cold, at peace and yet
There I was in despair
This happened just one year ago
And still the pain survives
Let this be a warning to you all
DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!
