I sang and wrote this song to advocate for victims of drunk driving. I own the rights to the music.

Listen to poem:

Someone special died because you drink and drive Dear drunk driver I want you to know Forgiveness is a fire enlight save souls Maybe you live Maybe you are deceased Maybe you forgive Maybe you are hurting Blue you blue drink Driving reckless quicker Lives are linked cause you can’t handle liquor You didn’t care You knew you were drunk Car a weapon killing daughter or son What if it was your mama Or your daddy Broken and bleeding Screaming and crying Wrapped around a tree Or on the highway What if your wife and child Died that day? Someone special died because you drink and drive. Every day and holiday a family sighs No more birthdays or 4th of Julys No more phone calls or smiles from bright eyes Victims who died because you drink and drive Those who survive have hard work to do Physically, therapy, or creating life new advocating for cause for spiritual mending Creating a bridge from tragedy to winning this song has music

Sorry to hear you are sick Inky. :0( No I sang the melody and the producer followed my voice mostly but the background heavy chords he did. So it was a kind of collaboration. Thank you for your kind comments. I consider myself a writer more than a singer lol. Blessings

Brilliant! and it is a sing set to music with a great message! Congrats on your very well deserved top win! You should take this further and see if you can get some established singer to sing this song!! Worth writing to them! Elton John would be worth! PS team should write and ask! The message is powerful!! Well done!!

Dear Jones, I have so much loved your song, the song is as good as your poems. The best advice you can give someone who drinks, is to away from the steering under alcohol influence. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece, John

Wow Karen, this is a deeply touching message, beautifully put to song, and very well done. This is a message that needs to be heard. Your poem set to song and the music is incredible, you are very talented. I hope more people can hear it, and may it play back in their minds before they get behind the wheel of their car while intoxicated. This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this, a fave for me. God bless you Karen <3

Karen~ I used to work for MADD~ Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Then …..when we called people who to contribute, they said were people who did not drink. They said “ I don’t drink” Who do they think would hit them a sober driver?? Many millions do drugs and drive. And plenty of grass. They hurt people too. Trying to get to hear your voice. Having problems! Glad you wrote about this.Pangie xx You talent you,!)))

Karen Jones
Date: 10/15/2023 2:49:00 PM

Pangie I was a volunteer on the national hotline and also in the courtroom. People or some are not aware until it hits home as a personal tragedy. Sorry you can't hear my voice. Thank you for kind comments and for caring about this issue. Hugs love and light.

Your poem is a good one Karen, the music and voice add an even greater sense of depth to the overall message, reminds me of a gentler version of White lines (don’t do it) by grandmaster flash, check it out if not familiar with it, brilliant! cheers David

Karen Jones
Date: 10/15/2023 2:46:00 PM

Thank you David. I will look for it. I am not familiar with that unless I know the tune and not the name which I do a lot. Love and light to you!

Karen this is amazing. Both the message, the singing, the musical composition. Its very haunting, memorable, singable and soulful. I commend you. And now I am somber thinking of the message and the families and the victims. thank you!

Karen Jones
Date: 10/15/2023 1:21:00 PM

Susan I never want people to feel sad but that is the reality for millions who are family members of victims and or survivors themselves. Thanks for listening and getting the message. Hugs

WoW! Karen, This is a powerful message on what can happen if one drinks and drives. My thing is if you are of age and want to drink be responsible and get a designated driver or plan and simple, DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. I agree with Jan. Thanks for penning a powerful poem( song). PS, read my poem. A constant friend. ;-) Alexis

Jan Allison

wise advice Alexis, sadly some people think its only a short distance I am fine 've only had a small amount ... and disaster happens:-( hugs Jan xx

Karen Jones

Thanks Alexis. I'm headed to your page now.

Jan Allison

Date: 10/15/2023 11:13:00 AM

Your poem should be released onto you tube it sends out an exceptional message and if it saves just one life... BRAVO Karen ... you have soul, an amazing voice. I was totally blown away by the whole production. hugs Jan xx

Susan Manley
Date: 10/15/2023 1:12:00 PM

I second what Jan said, and suggest it gets posted to social media, tag #Alanon #AA #mothersagainstDrunkDriving , You should consider getting a "soundCloud" account as well. This is a good song. It may get licensed and used for film, tv or resung by a popular artist.

Aw thanks so much Jan. I will tell my son your suggestion as I have no idea how to deal with You Tube. So appreciative of your kind words. Hugs
