Went to a party Mom ...

(read all the way to the bottom and sign your name)

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom ,
So I had a Pepsi 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 " Mom my'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 well & 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 good-bye.

I know we aren't suppose to bump but I thought this was worth keeping up for a bit.

so touching, thanks Katers

This hits very close to home for me....it's happened in my family.
Thanks for posting this.

Your're quite welcome

i agree

thank you

i know each state is diferent in the us...but my experience of staying at a small town in texas is that the only way you could go out for a drnk is drive..... there were no walkways so that you could walk home or even to one bar to another..there were no public transport...also the chances of getting pulled by the police for being drunk was higher if your walking than driving........pretty sad.......i guess i should be greatfull for living in a country where society encourages people to use thier legs ...drunk or not
