WENT TO A PARTY,
MOM. . .
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,
"Daddy's Girl" is 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 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.
