Mommy

Mommy......
Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his friends it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great crack,
Mommy,
I was a good girl,
I did what i was told,
I got straight A's,
I even got the gold!
But Mommy,
When i went to school that day,
I never said goodbye,
I'm sorry Mommy,
I had to go,
But Mommy,
Please dont cry.
When Johnny shot the gun,
He shot me and another,
And all because Johnny,
Got the gun from his older brother.
Mommy,
Please tell Daddy;
That i love him very much,
And please tell Chris;
My Boyfriend;
That it wasn't just a crush!
And tell my Sister;
That she's the only one now,
And tell my dear sweet grandmother;
That i'll be waiting for her now,
And tell my wonderful friends;
That they were always the best!
Mommy......
I'm not the first,
I'm no better than the rest.
Mommy......
Tell my Teachers;
I wont show up for class,
And never forget this!
And please dont let this pass!
Mommy......
Why'd it have to be me??
No one deserves this!
Mommy,
Please warn the others!
Mommy,
I left without a kiss,
Mommy,
Tell the doctors;
I know they really did try,
I think i even saw a doctor,
Trying not to cry.
Mommy,
I'm slowly dying,
Mommy,
Im so scared!
With a bullet in my chest,
But Mommy,
Please remember,
I'm in heaven with the rest.
Mommy,
I ran as fast as i could,
When i heard that crack!
Mommy,
Listen to me if you would,
I'm not coming back!
I wanted to go to college,
I wanted to try things that were new,
I guees i'm not going with Daddy,
On that trip to the zoo.
I wanted to get married!
I wanted to have children!
I wanted to be an actress!
Mommy,
I wanted to live!!
But Mommy, I must go now,
The time is getting late,
Mommy,
Tell my boyfriend;
I'm sorry i had to cancel our date!
I Love You Mommy,I always have,
I know, you know it's true!
And Mommy all i wanted to say is,
" Mommy I Love You!"

In memory of the many School shootings we have suffered through!
