Somebody should have
taught him~Retold by jane watkins
I went to a party,
but I remembered what you said.
You told me not to
drink at all so I had sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would.
That I didnt
choose to drink and drive though some of my friends said I should.
I knew I made a healthy
choice and your advice to me was right
As the party finally
ended and the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my own car,
sure to get home in one piece,
never knowing what
was coming something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the
pavementI can hear the policeman say
"The kid that caused
this wreck was drunk." His voice seemed far away.
My own blood is all
around me,As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramatic
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 that I would have to die.
So why do people do
it knowing that it ruins lives?
But now the pain is
stabbing me like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell my sister not
to be afraid,tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven
to put Daddy's girl on my grave.
Someone should have
taught him thats its wrong to drink and drive.
MAybe if His mom and
dad had I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting
shorter,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 lay here and I die.
I wish that I could
say I love you and goodbye.
