I love this poem. Every time I read it it makes me cry. I think people need
to understand just how precious life is. I hope this poem pulls at a few
heart strings and makes everyone care just a little more. God Bless.
<<
>> I went to a party, Mom, I remembered what you said.
>> You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead.
>> I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would.
>> I didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I
>should.
>>
>> I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right.
>> Now the party is finally ending, Mom, as everyone is driving
>outof sight.
>> As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd 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? My life just 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 feeling sharp pains now. Pains just 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 heaven, 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 say good bye.
>> I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?

>> As many of you know, a friend of mine and of my high school,
>Katherine E.
>>Perhkon, was killed in a drunk driving accident on April 21, 1997.
>She
>was a
>>wonderful person, an intelligent student and an aspiring athlete.
>Kate
>left behind
>>her mother, father, and older brother. Kate also left behind Great
>Falls,
>and the
>>entire Langley and Northern Virginia area. Kate was not drinking,
>but
>made an
>>unwise decision to ride with a driver who had been drinking. As in
>the
>poem, the
>>driver walked away with minor scratches. Her prom date watched her
>fight
>death, as
>>he revived her at the scene of the accident, but saw her slowly
>fade
>away
>in the
>>hospital. Also in the accident was Josh Chou, a classmate and
>friend of
>Kate's. He
>>remains in the hospital with massive internal injuries. In a weeks
>time,
>he has
>>gone through over 60 pints of donated blood, which he is running out
>of.
>He
>will be
>>in the ICU for several more weeks, and in the hospital for months
>ahead.
>(If you are
>>a blood donor, please make it under his name.)
>> I am writing you this letter and sending this poem so that we
do
>not forget
>>the fragility of life. Kate made a decision, and not only did it
>effect
>her, but
>>the hundreds of people who were once inspired by her endless smile.
>
>There
>are too
>>many stories and occurances of drunk driving accidents and deaths.
>I
>ask
