Mom's Advice
I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said.
I really felt proud, the way you said I would.
I know I did the right thing. I know you are always right.
I knew that if I drank, I wouldn't be able to stand on my own two feet.
I started to drive away, but as I pulled out into the road.
As I lay there on the pavement, I heard the policeman say,
I'm lying here dying, I wish you'd get here soon.
There is blood all around me, and most of it is mine.
I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink.
He was probably at the same party as I.
Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin their whole life.
The guy who hit me is walking, and I don't think it's fair.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave.
Someone should have told him, not to drink and drive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared.
I have on last question, Mom. Before I say goodbye.
