Don't Drink and Drive!!

The author is unkown on this, however I thought it would be appropriate for the season!!

I went to a party, Mom, 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.
As the party finally ended, 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 hear the policemen say, "the kid that caused the wreck was drunk." Mom, his voice seems so 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. Tell Daddy to be brave, Tell sister not to be afarid, Mom.
And when I go to heaven, put "Daddy'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 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 I could say "I love you", Mom, so I love you and goodbye.
