PLEASE READ IT,
I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, 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 there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say, "The other guy is drunk," Mom, 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 getting 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, So why am I the one to die?
Someone took the effort to write this poem. So please, forward this to as many people as you can. And see if we can get a chain going around the world that will make people understand that
Don't Mix Drinking and Driving. PLEASE DO THE FAVOR.
