Poem
I lay in my hospital bed knowing in a day or two I’ll be dead because that’s what the doctor said my body crushed from toe to head in the auto accident the other day you see I drank too many drinks before I drove home now I lay here all alone thinking of the life that I’ll never live and the love to my wife and children I’ll never give I’m still a young man only 33 I had so much life ahead of me now never to walk in the park again never to talk and have fun with my friends again my work was just taking shape and all the money I’ll never spend now that my life has come to a sudden end how will my family survive I won’t be here to see my children grow or ever hear them say again daddy I love you so all because of my thoughtless act to drink and drive the doctors told me about an hour ago you also killed a lady in the accident if I meet her on the other side what will I say I’m sorry that when we met you died and left behind a husband and a child who also needed you so I don’t know the very thought of my thoughtless act is killing me as well I know my destiny is hell as death stands patiently at the foot of my bed to take me away the moment I’m dead my name is not to be known because my name could be your own I have only one last thought to leave before I die for God's sake and one ones you leave behind please don't drink and drive this poem was written by me a long time ago my hope is that this poem will stop and make people think about drinking and driving actually this poem came to me one day while I was driving on the San Bernardino Freeway in West Covina Ca. it was so powerful and over whelming that I had no choice but to write it down the next day a story appearded in the news paper about a young man who died in the West Covina Hospital because of a drinking and driving auto accident
