Death Of An Innocent

I went to a party mom,I remember 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 heard 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 broher 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 goodbye.
I didn't drink and drive,so why am I the one to die?

Words Of A Child

Teddy,I've been bad again,
My mommy told me so;
I'm not quite sure what I did wrong,
But I thought that you might know.

When I woke up this morning,
I know that she was mad;
Cause she was crying awful hard,
And yelling at my dad.

I tried my best to be real good,
And do just what she said;
I cleaned my room all by myself,
I even made my bed.

But I spilt milk on my good shirt,
When she yelled at me to hurry;
And I guess she didn't hear me,
When I told her I was sorry.

Cause she hit me awful hard,you see,
And called me funny names;
And told me I was really bad,
And I should be ashamed!

When I said,"I love you,Mommy,"
I guess she didn't understand;
Cause she yelled at me to shut my mouth.
Or I'd get smacked again.

So I came up here to talk to you,
Please tell me what to do;
Cause I really love my Mommy,
And I know she loves me,to.

And I don't think my Mommy means,
To hit me quite so hard;
I guess sometimes,grown ups forget.
How really big they are!

So Teddy,I wish you were real,
And you weren't just a bear;
Then you could help me find a way.
To tell Mommies every where.

To please try hard to understand.
How sad it makes us feel;
Cause the outside pain soon goes away,
But the inside never heals!

And if we could make them listen,
Maybe then they'd understand;
So other children just like me,
Wouldn't have to hurt again.

But for now,I guess I'll hold you tight,
And pretend the pain's not there;
I know you'd never hurt me,
So goodnight,Teddy Bear!
