Mommy went to heaven, but I need her here today,
My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her right away.

Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book?
Is heaven in the yellow part, I don't know where to look.

I think my daddy needs her to, at night I hear him cry.
I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don't know why.

She's been gone a long, long time. She needs to come home now!
I really need to reach her, but I simply don't know how.

Help me find the number please, is it listed under, "Heaven"?
I can't read the big, big words, I am only seven.

I'm sorry operator, I didn't mean to make you cry,
Is your tummy hurting too, or is there something in your eye?

If I call my church maybe they will know.
Mommy said when we need help that's where we should go.

I found the number to my church tacked up on the wall.
Thank you operator, I'll give them a call.

Why Me??

I went the a party, Mom, I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all, so I drank a sprite instead.
I felt really proud inside, the way you said I would.
That I didn't choose drink and drive, even though the others
said I should.
I knew I made the healthy choice, and your advice to me was
right.
As the party finally ended, and the cars drove out of sight.
I got into my car, sure to 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? Me life 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 feelig sharp pains now. Pains 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 heavan, Mom, put "Daddy's Girl" 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 said good bye.
I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?

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 parent's 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 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 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,
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'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 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.

**Hell is Real**

I went into my classroom
Ready for another year at school.
I didn't want the work,
Just wanted to hang and be cool.

I had on new clothes,
New sneaks on my feet.
I was there for class on time
Went to the back and took my seat.

Yeah, I'm moving up.
I'm already grown.
Soon I'll be graduating
And out on my own.

I talked to some of my friends.
We were all having fun.
Said some things I shouldn't have said,
Did stuff I shouldn't have done.

I knew I was different.
I felt God touch my heart.
I knew I should set a standard,
But then I'd be set apart.

Walking to the bus,
I was not looking for strength.
I heard the car tires screeching,
But now it's too late.

I'm standing in this room
And I can see the heavenly gate.
Oh no! I never prayed.
I thought I had time to get it straight.

An angel walked to me.
He had a book in his hand.
I knew it was the Book of Life.
When would this dream end?

I told him my name
And he began to look.
Then he looked at me sadly and said
Your name is not in this book.

Angel, this is a dream.
No, I can't be dead!
He closed the book and turned away.
He whispered - You cannot proceed ahead.

No...no this can't be real.
Angel, you can't turn me away.
Let me talk to God.
Maybe He'll let me stay.

He led me to the gate.
Jesus came to me,
He did not let me in but said,
Beloved what is your need?

Jesus, I cried, please
Don't cast me away from you.
Tears ran down His face as He said,
You knew what you needed to do.

Lord, please I'm young.
I never thought I would die.
I thought I'd have plenty of time.
Death caught me by surprise.

Lord, I went to church.
Please Jesus, I believe.
He said you would not accept me.
My love you would not receive.

Lord, there were too many hypocrites.
They weren't being true.
He took a step back and asked
What does that have to do with you?

Lord, my family claimed to be saved,
They weren't real. You know.
He said, I died for you.
Now I have to go.

I fell to my knees crying to Him.
Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow.
I couldn't, make Him understand.
I had never -- felt such sorrow.

Then it hit me hard, I said
Lord, where will I go?
He looked into my eyes and said,
My child you already know.

Please Jesus, I begged
The place is so hot.
It seemed to trouble and grieve Him.
He whispered, DEPART FROM ME, I KNOW YOU NOT.

Lord, you're supposed to be love.
How can you send me to damnation?
He replied, With your mouth you said you loved me,
But each day you rejected my salvation.

With that in an instant,
Day turned into night.
I never knew such torture could be.
Now too late, I know the Bible is right.

If I can tell you anything,
Hell has no age.
It is a place of torture,
Separated from God and full of rage.

You know I thought it was funny -- a joke,
But this one thing is true:
If you never accept Jesus Christ
HELL IS WAITING FOR YOU!

So please ask Him into your heart.

Be Careful What You Say

Joel was sitting in class one day
When she walked through the door
The sight of her made Joel's heart
Crash down to the floor
He learned her name was Autumn
And that she was free
Joel began to think
"I wonder if she'll go out with me?"
So Joel asked her out the next day
And Autumn gladly said yes
He picked her up that night
And their date was the best
They finally started going steady
And had been for almost a year
But then came that horrifying incident
The one that only a couple can fear
They got into a fight
Over one little thing
But neither of them knew
This much trouble it would bring
"I don't want to see you anymore!"
Joel screamed in Autumn's face
"Don't ever talk to me again!"
Autumn felt so out of place
"But, Joel, I'm sorry," Autumn whispered
As she tried to look into his eye
"Just get the hell away from me!" he screamed
"I wish you would die!"
Autumn felt the tears
Streaming down her face
Her head began to pound
Her heart began to race
"I hate you!" Autumn yelled
As she ran out the door
She would never look at Joel again
Or love him anymore
Joel stood in the doorway
Recalling what he said
"I can't believe," he thought
"That I wished she was dead."
He raced up to his room
And picked up his phone
He called her house right away
But she wasn't home
Joel wondered where she was
Autumn lived just down the street
He knew that he was wrong
He was just overcome by heat
Joel got up and raced outside
To go search for his girl
But when he was halfway down the street
His mind became a whirl
For Autumn was lying in the street
Blood forming all around
Joel screamed in horror
And dropped to his knees on the ground
She had been hit by a car
Running across the street
And now she was dying
As if claiming defeat
"Oh, Autumn," Joel whispered
His heart breaking in two
"I didn't mean what I said"
"I still love you."
Autumn looked up at Joel
Her eyes filled with fear
And down her pale cheek
Trickled one single tear
"I love you, too," she whispered
Holding him tight
Joel held in his screams
With all his might
He gently kissed her lips
And prayed silently
"Please, God," he whispered
"Don't take her away from me."
But Autumn's life was stopping
And her heart began to slow
"NO!" Joel screamed in agony
"She's not suppose to go!"
Autumn died in Joel's arms
And he knew that she was gone
"If only I had admitted sooner"
"That I was really wrong"
"I loved her with all my heart"
"I didn't want her to die."
Joel put his head in his hands
And began to cry
You never know what can happen
When you get mad and make a scene
So make sure that person knows
What you say, isn't always what you mean
So be careful what you say
Even if what you say isn't true
Because just a few words
Can take someone away from you.
