    Default Please read think and act on it

    Hi all read this on another forum, please read it, it made me think of my own mortality

    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
    as 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 was drunk,"
    Mum, His voice seems far away.

    My own blood 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.

    Tell sister not to be afraid, Mum
    tell daddy to be brave,
    and when I go to heaven,
    put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

    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
    :kissass :cry: Hmm I wonder which 3 this is ????

    anyone who drinks and drives is a stupid selfish person, unfortunatly the type of person who will only ever learn by their mistakes, if that.
    I'm new to this :huh:

    Mate that's extremely moving - it really is, thanks for sharing.

    Unfortunately it's a sad true fact that it probably will be the non drinker that ends up dead. I try my damndest not to drink and drive, but if it wasn't for my wife (god bless her) there'd have been a few moments a long time ago when i would have - and as soon as she started driving me home - I knew I'd have crashed and killed myself - as I could hardly see the road.

    Certain things in life make you realise how precious it is, and the people around you. I only have to imagine for a moment what my life would be like without my wife, and it makes me asses everything I do.

    K for you for that Bluto - much appreciated.

    Yeah, I have seen an old man die instantly being hit by a car in blackpool, his old wife (about 84) was just standing at the side looking just to stunned to move. This was because the guy had a few then went out to drive home because he couldnt be bothered getting his car the next day. Just remembering that old womans face, who had just watched her lifetime companion die is enough to make myself, or anybody else not bother.

    Also, my dads brother (not my uncle as I wasnt alive at the same time as him) was just 17 when he died on a motorbike accident. A guy pulled straight out infront of him in a lorry and he smashed right into the side. The whole family was devastated, and it still makes my old man nearly cry when he goes to the gravestone and it says 'only 17 years of age.'

    Serously whats the point in drink driving, whats it worth?
    Im a fuckwit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
