I look at little Johnny
and I see he's got your eyes
"I want my Daddy",
he sadly cries.
I wipe away a little tear
"Daddy's gone to Heaven"
I whisper in his tiny ear.
He looks up at my saddened face
then he asks me why,
but how can I answer
"How did my Daddy die?"
The truth is your gone,
and it can't come out right
it's a stab in my heart
as I remember that awful night.
Driving down that busy street
heading home to me and John,
then came that speeding car,
it hit you head on.
Minutes passed by
sirens echoed the air,
you were pronounced dead on the scene
it's just so unfair.
They checked the other car
and couldn't help but stare
sad and shocked,
it was your father lying there.
"Tell my son I love him"
he quietly said,
but what he didn't know
is that you were already dead.
He slowly closed his eyes
and lost all signs of breath
gone along with you,
it was a night of death.
If it wasn't for your father
hurrying to get home,
Johnny would have a father
and I wouldn't be all alone.
The moral of the story
is to think before you act
for on others,
your mistakes may have a great impact.

I wrote this poem 3 years ago after my cousin was in a serious car accident. I won my high school's poetry contest with this one, so I thought I'd share.
