Now that Christmas is nearly on us.

And it is the time for celebration and parties.


"Daddy's Girl"

As I set off for the party,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink and drive
so I had a coke 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'm sure I made the right 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 saw it coming
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,"
But, 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?
the pain is really hurting  me,
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid
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,
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
and I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me,
as I lie here and die.
I need to leave these words with you,
I love you all, good-bye.

It is very sad indeed, I have tears in my eyes as I read this poem.

I also get tears in my eyes it is a sad but also a good
poem
Thank you Ria
