Is this to much to ask????!
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.
< BR> 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.
Please don't drink and drive...

this poem is wonderfully i just wish everyone would read this before they decide to go out and party because it usually the Innocent ones how have to lose Thar lives and the drunk driver how caused the wreck goes on to live another day and almost all of them do it again like it never happened before.
(Thank you for reminding people what could happen. and I'm hoping this will get to someone hows thanking about doing this tonight because one less drunk drive off the street=1 more innocent person that get to see the next day..)
