Drink Driving Awareness (forwarding email I received)

Not usually one for forwarding emails and that lot, but I sent this one on. Copy and paste it and send it off to some people if you think it's worth it. I haven't put the list of names because there's about a thousand. But if this can raise awareness, then I'm all for it. Sorry it's so huge, but I decided it's best left in it's original form.




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,
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's 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.

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.
