The serious subject of drink driving (copy)

This came to me as an email and I thought it was worth reproducing here.  I have seen it before as I expect have some of you.  But it's worth another read if it stops just one person. We are all responsible for educating our children.  It forms part of a petition being brought by the organisation MADD (mothers against drink drivers)

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, 

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.
