Thinking...


I was thinking about when I was younger mum,
All the fun times we all spent together,
Out and about whenever we could,
In any kind of weather!
We all played hide-and-seek,
It was my favourite game to play,
We always went on forever…
Oh such fun we'd have everyday!

I remember one time when I was little,
I was playing at dolls and prams,
I wanted to be a mommy one day,
Oh my, I had so many plans.
We'd all go on a picnic,
When the weather was good and fine,
And play on the sand, make a castle,
And I always thought the best was mine!

We'd ride on the fairground rides,
And oh, we'd have a ball!
And even if I had an accident,
I'd still be giggling as I'd fall!
And one time mum, remember,
When we all went into the sea?
I almost fell off my dingy,
And you had to come and rescue me!

I loved baking cakes with you,
Oh, we had such fun…
I always dropped the flour,
And you'd say; ‘oh, look what you've done!'
But you never told me off mum,
So patient you really are,
So I want to tell you here and now,
I think you are a star!

I wish I had told you how I felt,
And showed you how much I care,
But now I've left it too late,
And you're not even here!
My dreams and hopes now gone,
And never a mommy will I be,
All my life that's what I wanted,
I wanted to marry and have children you see.

But I can't for my life is through,
Never will I achieve all I set out to do,
And never will you hold me again,
Like you'd always do!
I'm getting really calm now mum,
And I hear people crying over me,
Saying that I won't make it,
And fear in them is all I see…

But I'm starting to ascend now,
And warmth is spreading through,
I am floating to the Heavens,
Because I think my time's now through.
I'm above my own body mum,
And I see you coming near,
Tears streaming down your face,
A face so etched in fear.

And just in distance I see the culprit,
He'd been the pub all night,
Drinking and driving, what a crime,
He was wrong, it's just not right!
I'm lying in the road here,
Covered in blood at the scene,
Then I look towards you mum,
As you let out a piercing scream!

You fall to your knees at my side,
And sob until you're dry,
I'm sorry mum, I really am,
Because I didn't want to die!
I'm feeling really peaceful now,
And oh, it hurts to see you cry,
But you're devastated and hysterical,
Because your daughter had to die

Drinking and driving is so very wrong,
For look at what it has done…
Taken the life from me…in a blink!
For my time on earth was done.
But too soon mum, and so cruelly!
Oh what a way to die…
And as I slip into the oblivion sky…!
I see you sob and cry.

He sees this mum, what he's done,
He shows so much remorse,
For the death of one so young…!
Because he chose the drink-and-drive course!
He's a hit and run drunk driver,
And his actions cause so much pain!
Let's hope this will live with him,
So he will never drink drive again!
