Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. -Dr. Seuss

My friend forwarded this poem to me and it is really a constant reminder to all you people out there, don't drink and drive! Friends will not let friends drink drive

I went to a party Mom,
I remembered 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 hear 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 brother not to cry,Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven,Mom,
Put "GOOD BOY" 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
