I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
so I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right.
The party finally ended,
and the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece.
I never knew what was coming, Mom,
something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
the kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
this girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high.
Because he chose to drink and drive,
now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven,
put ' Mommy's Girl' on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter,
Mom I'm getting re a lly scared
These are my final moments,
and I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, 'I love you, Mom!'
So I love you and good-bye.

I have passed it on to many that i knew would keep it going steadily...
Is nice to see it still making the rounds

How about DADD? Drunks against drunk drivers!

It's a sobering thought.

Theres a poetry section.

WOW!!!!

As an alcoholic who constantly drinks and drives I am extremly offended!

I KNOW... BUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS IS DEEPER THAN POETRY... SORRY

Post it in the poemetry section.

Sorry Mr. Drunk driver. No offense meant. Crunch. Oops!

I'm sure you're trying to be funny, but to the people who have lost loved ones or been harmed by drunk drivers, this isn't a joke.

I agree.....

Not trying to be funny.

You cannot be that arrogant to think that your behavior that can kill others is acceptable. I don't care if you drink YOURSELF to death - leave the rest of us out of the equation.

Scary.

I know. Myself, I'd rather face a $200 taxi fare or waking up on the street in the middle of nowhere soaked in vomit and/or urine than to realize that I got in a car and killed someone.

thats a old one but good one see ya later gator
