I went to a party, Mom,
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
as 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 'Daddy's
Girl' on my grave.
Someone should have
taught him,
that its wrong to
drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents
had,
I'd still be
alive.
My breath is getting
shorter, Mom
I'm getting
really 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
goodbye.
Fav. if you will Never drink and drive because
you. Care.
