POEM (I Didn't Drink and Drive, Mom)

I Didn't Drink and Drive, Mom

I went to a party, Mom,
I remembered what you said...
You told me not to drink any liquor, Mom,
So I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, Mom,
The way you said I would,
I didn't drink and drive, Mom,
Even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom,
I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending, Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom,
I knew I'd get home in one piece,
Because of the way you raised me,
So responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom,
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn't see me, Mom,
And hit me like a load...
As I lay on the pavement, Mom,
I hear the policeman say,
"The other guy is drunk,"
And now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom...
I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, Mom,
And most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom,
I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, Mom,
I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom,
The others didn't think.
He was probably...
At the same party as I.
The only difference is...
He drank, and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom,
It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now,
Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
And I don't think it's fair,
I'm lying here dying...
And all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom,
Tell Daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven, Mom,
Put "GOOD BOY" on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom,
Not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom,
I would still be alive.
My breath is geting shorter, Mom,
I'm becoming very scared,
Please don't cry for me, Mom,
When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom,
Before I say good-bye,
I didn't drink and drive, Mom,
So why am I the one to die?


DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!

Please "share" this with others to raise awareness for the dangers of drinking and driving! Thank you.
God bless!
