Drink Driving Poems

This poem is beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye as I read it. It shows that you don't have to drink to get effected by drink drivers.

I Went to a Party Mom

I went to a party,
and remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom
so I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
the way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
and your advice to me was right
as the party finally ended,
and the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mom
something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
"The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,"
Mom, His voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,
as I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
"This girl is going to die."

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
while he was flying high,
because he chose to drink and drive,
now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
tell daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven,
put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
that its wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
and I feel so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say I love you, Mom
So I love you and good-bye.

Another poem which I think is beautiful is this one.

A Lovers Loss

Near to the door
he paused to stand
as he took his class ring
off her hand

all who were watching
did not speak
as a silent tear
ran down his cheek

and through his mind
the memories ran
of the moments they walked
and ran in the sand (hand and hand)

but now her eyes were so terribly cold
for he would never again
have her to hold

they watched in silence
as he bent near
and whispered the words...
"I LOVE YOU" in her ear

he touched her face
and started to cry
as he put on his ring
and wanted to die

and just then
the wind began to blow
as they lowered her casket
into the snow...

this is what happens
to man alive...
when friends let friends...
drink and drive.

This next one shows the accident through a different light, it really shows you what can happen.

Minutes Like Hours

You walk into the store
and stride down the aisle.
You pick me up and
try to look casual while
you carry me down
to the checkout line.
Pull out your wallet,
you soon will be mine.
Your friends are observing
every move that you make.
The clerk asks for ID--
you show him a fake.
You quickly walk down
to the front of the store.
Your friends are waiting for you
as you step out the door.
You hop in the car
and drive away from the shop.
Then you shut off the ignition,
and pop off my top.
You take a few drinks
and pass me around.
That's when you decide
to take a drive around town.
You turn on your car
and put your foot on the clutch.
I'm sober, you think,
I didn't have very much.
You pull onto the road
with me by your side,
taking occasional sips
as you enjoy the ride.
Then the brakes on the car
in front of you squeal.
You try hard to stop,
but lose control of the wheel.
You skid off the road,
and you know you have crashed.
The dashboard is shattered,
the windshield is smashed.
Minutes like hours,
You're in treacherous pain
that washes the senses,
envelops your brain.
The screams all around you
are faint to your ears,
as life flashes before you,
your hopes and your fears.
Minutes like hours,
you plead and you pray,
I'll never touch it again,
just let me live one more day.
Your mind starts to go dark,
it falls apart piece by piece.
And then you slip into blackness,
the pain has finally ceased.
Before you entered that store,
you should have thought twice,
for I am the substance
that cost you your life.
