**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, **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, **I hear the medic say, Mom, **I'll die in a short time. **I just wanted to tell you, Mom, **The others didn't think. **He was probably at the same party as I. **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. **And all he can do is stare. **Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. **And when I go to heaven, Mom, **Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave. **Someone should have told him, Mom, **If only they had told him, Mom, **My breath is getting shorter, Mom. **I'm becoming very scared **Please don't cry for me, Mom. **I have one last question, Mom, **I didn't drink and drive, **So why am I the one to die? ** ************************ **Someone took the effort to write this poem. Please, forward this toas **many people as you can. Let's see if we can get a chain going aroundthe **world that will make people understand that drinking & driving don'tmix.****TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, so please...
