No one thought this could happen, nobody thought that it was real. You only thought of fun, as you put your hands on the wheel. You didnt stop yourself, you didnt even try to think. When you got into the car, after you had alot to drink. You couldnt hit the brakes when you seen the lights, because of the fact you were going so fast. You took in a really deep breath, a breath you didnt think was gonna be the last. Your life was lost that night, but you werent the only on to die. It gets harder and harder, as the days go by. This is a warning, to anyone and everyone. The result from drinking and driving, can never be fun. ~*~TrUe LoVe Is ThE cLoSeSt ThInG tO hEaVeN~*~ |

Well done Erin ... a very poignant poem. This all too often ends in tragedy, a loss that could so easily have been prevented. Nicely penned! Best wishes, /Kit |

Thanks for sharing this babe...definatly a reminder to us all, even those who still can't drive (one year left!!), but this is a tough issue and we must put it out in the open. Thanks for doing so, I love btw the way your poems hit hot issues on the head and make us all aware of the danger that we have, may, or could face. see ya... salooma |

Hey babe! Great poem..if only everyone made the wise decision to not drink and drive because the consequences are harsh. Keep up the great work!! ~!*DQ*!~ "One fine day you'll look at me and know that love was meant to be" ~Carol King |

Hey sweet heart! It's been a while! Anyways...GREAT poem!! You truly brought tears to my eyes. 6 months ago I lost my best friend in a car accident. He wasn't drinking...the guy that hit him was. Every time I look back and think about him, I miss him so terribly much. I would give anything to have him here with me again. I just wish that people would think of the consequences that comes with drinking and driving. The responsibilites are so great, when you drink and then get behind the wheel, you take lots of lives in your hand. When you are drunk you have no fears no regrets...until you kill someone. I know the guy that killed my friend. He blames himself every day. He told me that the devastation of it all has traumatized him forever. I just wish people would think about not the consequences (i.e. a D.U.I. or suspension of your liscensce) but what you can do to so many people. When you take someone's life by drinking and driving, you hurt way more people than were involved in the accident. so I've babbled on and on, thanks for re-posting this and making us all aware of the severity that is often down-played with drinking and driving. Love Always~*~Jessica~*~ ~*~Why is it that love always starts with a hug, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear?~*~ |

Hey sad poem, but very much true people shouldn't drink and drive cause they always think they are capable of it when they really aren't even close. Nice Job |

great logical entree! just in the past month three people I knew were killed due to drunk driving. The sad part is that they were all seperate accidents, on seperate days. I didn't know them WELL, but I knew them. Thanks for writing this. It's very true!  |
