I loved him once, he broke my heart.
I love him still, though we're apart.
I think of him all through the day
And for his love, at night, I pray.
For on the night he set me free
He kissed me oh so tenderly;
Then turned and cast my love aside.
Many years have passed me by
And so, Dear Lord, the mystery
Is how to set my poor heart free!
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 smoke
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 dont 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 away:
"Please take me home, I dont
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
were 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 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'tyou please
tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stoodthere
~ 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 oh 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.
Drinking and driving is Not cool.
Give everything a second thought.
