A serious note on alcohol A poem to snap u back to reality. If you've already seen it, read it again- I went to a party, Mom, 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, and hit me like a load. 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, and most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time. I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink. It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think. He was probably at the same party as I. The only difference is, 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. I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare. Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave. And when I go to heaven, Mom, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and drive. If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared. Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question, Mom, before I say good bye. I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die? Tomorrow Never Comes If tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you care for me, and how much I care for you, and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awhile, I'd say goodbye and hug you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you". Today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. And you have been forgiven and now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand and share my life with me? So if tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, please know I'm in your heart. ~ Author Unknown ~ No law, no matter how strict--will ever stop people from drinking and driving. We can only hope that some day, those pathetic excuses for humans will pull their heads out of their asses, wash their faces off, and get a life. There are cars being made in another country are making cars that will only start if you blow into a little do hickey, like a breathalizer. If your breath is clean, you're ok. I think we should have that here. It should be mandated. I know what you're going to say, 'people would never buy them'. Well, everyone has to buy a new car sometime in their grown up life, and guess what kind of car it would have to be? I know, you say 'it would cost alot of money to make those cars, money we don't have'. Maybe so, but I don't think that all those people who would recieve the $ millions for making the cars would mind taking a paycut once they'd realized that thi would cut deaths by the thousand. 'It would never work you say?' Well you with the negative attitude, my frind, can go jump in the lake. Of course, stricter laws wouldn't hurt. I think that it should be made law that once you enter a bar--or any other establishment that serves alcohol--and order your first drink, you automatically give up the keys to your car, and you get to call a cab when you're done. I know, what a pain, huh? But I guess if you really want to go out drinking, that's just a small price to pay, right? Also, I know that some stores don't sell liquor at certain times of the day in some states, we need to crack down on that. Alcohol shouldnt be sold in the evening. If you are pulled over and test at the legal limit or over, that's your first warning, the second time, and your license should be taken away permenantly.
