Here is what a DD can do to you

I sit in my dazed world again,
Trying to find out who I am.
I once knew who and what I was.
However, I do not remember that any more.
Some days I think I do, but then I just get blue
Then I remember who I was and the anger flows like new.
I look around and I want to shout,
What this DD did to me!
I think he should be me.



A Pizza, A Party, and A Moonlight Ride

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting, she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy.
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoked and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I don't mean playing football.)
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff say away:
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"
Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car was alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!?"Jenny cried.
'We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives
dim, and I wish I could return their families to them.
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there-- she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but true,
So young people take heed, it could have been you.



Distant Love

The world is clueless, to what I see.
Dreams are forever, for whatever may be.
Feelings run deep, in the mind of the unknown.
From the start of everafter, the hurt is never shown.
In the darkness there's a light, far off in the distance.
Once the heart is felt, there's little power of resistance.
Nights move on to days, and future to past.
When does the dream begin, and will it last.
The light in the distance, could be a sun.
Is there a world spinning around, just like this one.
When touched from the heart, one may never know.
To feel the pleasure, and let it show.
Love for desire from the heart, all can see.
Desire for love in the heart, deep inside me.
To see a feeling and touch a sound.
To feel a silent kiss is one I have found.
It's one that's sweet, and hard to resist.
A love from my past, of one I have kissed.
I keep the feeling, inside my heart.
The dream of finding her, and never part.
So the story goes, as I sit alone.
Thinking of what may be, far away from home.

Thank God for Grandsons

I look in his eyes, I see you looking back
He's there to help me fill the happiness I lack
Sometimes I slip, and call him your name
But he doesn't seem to mind, he doesn't tend to blame
When he walks in a room, and flashes that big smile
There you are, only gone for a while
Even though he's six, he looks like you at ten
Thank you for that, it's like seeing you grow up again
He walks like you, runs like you, sometimes even talks the same
I'm so thankful, he carries our name
Thank you son, for allowing me to be your dad
And I'll hug my grandson, everytime I feel sad....

Here I am sitting and staring off in the distance
I move my leg and it cracks like a ball bat breaking
I scream out loud nothing I can do
My life that was to be is no longer
It has been taken away from me and replaced with pain
Yet the drunk driver has not suffer anything for the last 10 years
They tell me you need to get over the anger
I say never how can I the aftermath is all around me
My pain my wife's pain
Then my children there lives taken away at age 8 and 9
Now they live the life the drunk driver has given them
So at end never more never more

My Two Jamie's

You were a leader at the age of 4
You continue to grow to a real leader at the tender age of 7
All your peers would follow you anywhere
I could see you were going to be a very special and successful adult
Then it happened you young life was swept away by a drunk driver
Now you lay in a coma 1 month away from your 8th birthday
They’re telling me that you may not survive wait 72 hrs they say
I lay in a hospital emergence room were I get the news
I am 60 miles from your side and can not get to you
My heart turns to sadness and I do not know what to do
So I just lay on the gurney and cry
One month has passed you come out of your coma
The doctors and nurses came in and cried
For they thought you would not survive
You awake as a new person nothing like the one that was
I wheel myself to your side your head is shaved and you are restrained
You look at me and say daddy in a strange voice
I hug you and tell you I love you
But I have to leave the room for I am being over come with emotions
I go out to the hall and cry and shout in anger
Oh way oh way did he take my little girl away
She does not deserve this at her young age
But the drunk driver does not care
You spent the last 10 years trying to get what you once were
The distance never seems to be in reach
But you do not let that stop you from continuing to grow
To come so far make’s me proud of you
But your pain in growing and see you lose your childhood really rips my heart out
For this should have never been
