I prayed for help
I prayed for love
I prayed to be made well
I prayed for everything
That I needed help with

I kept on praying
But no quick answer came
But no matter
I knew one day it would
Come my way

So one day as I was driving
Out of no where came a stupid
Drunk driver
He side swiped my car
And it ended up in a river

I tried to get out
But the water kept me trapped
I prayed to God aloud
And prayed that I may live

My car is now full of water
I am starting to drown
I see a bright light
And angels all around

One sticks out her had
And says "Come with me."
I grabbed her hand
And then I knew I must
Be dead

But now I am in heaven
I am an angel just like her
I watch out for people
And help them when they
Are hurt

What I feel bad about now
Are how many people who are killed
By drunk drivers
I know their pain as they die
Because I was once in their shoes

Cold hands means a warm heart

How true... never drink and drive. Root beer is a different thing though. LOL! I'll never drive drunk because I don't drink alcohol - definitely a smart way to go.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
