You stroll into the party,
and set down your keys.
Ask for a beverage,
no ice please.
~
The party goes on,
and so do the drinks.
But when its all over,
no one stops to think.
~
You pick up your keys,
set down your beer,
start up your car,
switch to first gear.
~
You pull out of the drive way,
and head for the street.
And had yet to realize the maker,
you were about to meet.
~
Buy you were not watching,
and you failed to see,
that you hit another car,
cause drinking and driving don’t agree.
~
You fled the scene that night,
from the mangled twisted cars.
Landed yourself in prison,
caged behind steel bars.
~
A huge mistake you made,
you left them here to die.
Their family members and friends,
unable to say good bye
~
I was there that night,
when you hit that other car.
For I am your Guardian Angel,
sent from afar.
~
I came to save you,
so you’d live for your mistake.
But was powerless for the others,
who’s lives that you did take.
~
Did you ever stop to think,
someday that could be you,
or someone you hold dear,
if then, what would you do?
~
Irresponsible actions,
lead to innocent death.
A burden to carry with you,
till you take your last breath.
