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  ..
