This is an email I received from a friend. It was started by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) hoping to get 5,000 signatures to make people stop and think before they drink and drive. There are over 1,000 signatures on the list to date. If anyone would like me to forward the list onto them so they can sign it and send it on then please PM me with your email address.
I'll warn you in advance that you'll probably be in floods of tears after reading this (if you're anything like me that is!)....
WENT TO A PARTY
I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mum
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,
Mum
Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck
wasdrunk, Mum, 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, Mum
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.
,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, Mum
I 'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mum,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, "I love you,
Mum!" So I love you and good-bye ..
Send it to me Gemma.........I'll PM you my email address.
Gemma that is so sad....and unfortunately so true!!!
Oh so true.
