Awareness

"Somebody Should have Taught Him"

I went to a birthday party mom
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all mom
So I drank soda instead.
I felt proud inside mom,
Just the way you said I would,
That I didn't choose to drink and drive mom
Though some friends said I should.
I knew I made the right choice mom
Because your advice to me was right
And as the party finally ended mom
The kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car mom
Sure to get home in one piece,
Never knowing what was coming mom
Something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement, mom
I can hear the policeman say,
"The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,"

Mom,
His voice was far away.
My own blood is all around me, mom
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say, mom
"This girl is going to die."
I'm sure the guy had no idea, mom
while he was flying high,
because he chose to drink and drive mom
that I would have to die.

So why do people do it, mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
But now the pain is cutting me now mom
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell my sister not to be afraid, mom
Tell Daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven mom
Write "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have taught him mom
that it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his mom and dad had, mom
I'd still be alive.

My breathe is getting shorter, mom
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments, mom
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 Mom
I love you and Good-bye.

This Will Make You Cry...
Jenny was so happy about the house they had
found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of
town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the
breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting; she'd have friends over
soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so
happy
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went
great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going
to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the
team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a
clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to
lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight
ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride
would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoked and Jeff took a
puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I don't mean playing football.)
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too
young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff say away:
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted
rubble,
And heard, "call an ambulance! These kids are in
trouble!
Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the
wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car was alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!? "Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their
lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for
me?"
The nurse just stood there-- she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your
best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom
and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but true,
So young people take heed, it could have been
you.
