My Mother Was Hit By Drunk Driver

My Mother was hit by drunk driver

There is a reason that I 
never had a chance to 
meet my natural Mother

And it wasn’t because 
she didn’t 
want me to find her

Because my sister told me 
that she was looking for 
me what seemed like forever

And at the time when my 
Mothers 
life was taken away from her 

I am more then sure that 
she wasn’t ready to go

Because she was so much 
younger then I am now

But she failed to look 
over her shoulder

When she was crossing 
the street that night

And that’s when a young man 
was driving way to fast 
when he came around the corner

And he claims that he didn’t see 
my Mother until it was to late

Because he was trying to change the radio

And he was also sipping on a beer that night

And that’s when her head went through the windshield

And he stepped on the brakes
as he was staring into her face 

And in an instant her life was over

Because 

My Mother was hit by a drunk driver

And that’s why I never 
had the 
opportunity to meet her

Because he took her life away from her
by not being a responsible driver





(If your going to drink please stay at home 
and don’t drink and drive
because something like this could also happen to you)
