Bubble Gum & Cigarettes

Bubble gum and cigarettes Friday night party crowd Driving down the backroads With her hair blowing in the breeze She was flying....... With a smile on her face As she sang along with the radio Her favorite song Faster, faster She was flying....... Two miles from home Her tire slipped off Out of control she sped Twisting, turning She was flying..... Lying helpless she prayed Someone, anyone would help her Unmoving and quiet Her eyes closed and then.... She flew.

So sad because this happens to so many of our youth. Cut down before they have a chance to live. You handled the topic beautifully. Keep writing. Sara
